Hello and welcome to this months Stamptastic Friends Blog, where our theme is CASE (copy and share everything) Another Stamptastic Friend. I love to CASE others and enjoy making their ideas my own. I have chosen to CASE a card created by Heather Thomas – The Songbird Stamper. The card I am casing used the retired Forever and Always stamp set and a watercolour background.
Abstract Flower and Cheat Watercolour CASE Card
For my project I have used the Abstract Beauty Suite and a few extra embellishments. The Abstract Beauty Cards & Envelopes are printed with a watercolour wash background, enabling you to create a quick and simple card without having the hassle of creating one.
Choose your card base and add extra interest to your watercolour background by stamping the multiple dash image randomly, I have used the Crushed Curry card base and ink. Cut Two strips of Abstract Beauty SDSP (Speciality Designer Series Paper), measuring 1cm x 10cm. Adhere these to your card, overlapping slightly.
To create your abstract flower, cut four layering circles from two coordinating colours of cardstock, using the Beautiful Shapes Dies. Stamp over the smallest three circles using one of the splodge images and matching colour ink to cardstock. This gives added texture to your flower. Layer together using Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere to your card base.
Take two green leaves and a gold vellum sprig, from the Abstract Beauty Ephemera Pack and add these to your abstract flower.
Stamp your sentiment using Night of Navy ink, onto Basic White cardstock, and cut out using one of the label dies from the Beautiful Shapes Dies. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere to your card base.
Finish your card by adding several Brushed Brass Butterflies.
