Time for another challenge, or three! This time I am entering in Colour Q, Freshly Made Sketches, and The Friday Mashup. Have you noticed lately all the cards I am doing that feature the Fresh Vintage stamp set? I just love the flower in particular from this set, and can't believe that when I first saw the set in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue I didn't think I liked it much at all!!!
I liked the "go long" theme at Freshly Made Sketches so made a card that will fit into the Small Open Ended Envelopes. Now the name of these initially had me not even thinking of buying them until we got to use them at Convention last year, although called 'small' they are actually 17cm x 8.9cm. I have used the flower from Fresh Vintage again here both in the feature and again stamped in VersaMark on the Real Red card stock.
Here is a close up of the featured heart. In my last post I featured a little box with a heart on the front which I had made by stamping the flower from Fresh Vintage and punching out the majority of the flower with the heart punch. When I was doing the clean up on my desk I found the scrap of card stock that was left over and I noticed how good the little swirls looked coming out of the punch out heart. That was the inspiration for the feature of this card, what do you think? I am really happy with the way it turned out, and even more happy that I have found yet another way to use this beautiful stamp.
Happy Stamping
Love that gorgeous heart with the tiny touch of pink in the flowers! So pretty!
