AÂ big congrats to Caryn, the newest Featured Stamper (FS435) on Splitcoast! She has beautiful, growing gallery and I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & flowers theme, but I used different images, different colors & die cut flowers & a punched vase.
Instead of stamping the gray stripes like Caryn did, I brayered some strips with soft gray shadow ink then stamped the lines image (from the Retro Cling set) on top w/ weathered wood ink then attached them to my white panel & die cut it. Instead of an image of a vase of flowers, I punched a large vase, used a tiny sunburst punch on the side and stamped the starburst with worn lipstick & squeezed lemonade. I used the lipstick, lemonade, marigold, persimmon & honey inks to stamp the solid flowers by tapping all of the colors onto the images then lightly spritzing before stamping. The outline flowers were lined up & stamped on top then I used the matching dies to cut them out. The green inks were used for the leaves. I added 2 colors & 3 sizes of enamel dots to finish.
Here’s a look at the inside.
Congrats again, Caryn! Thanks so much for stopping by!
