CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Peace and Comfort

Happy Sunday everyone!! It is my turn over at the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog.

Today I am sharing a card I created using CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Peace and Comfort set. However, I wanted something more on my card so I used the leaves in a bit of a different way.

Instead of just stamping a single leaf on the flowers, I made some leaf branches.

I stamped both of the solid leaves in the stamp set in green, connecting the two in the middle. Then I took a green marker and created a stalk that kept the leaves together, as well as shaded in some detail.

Next I stamped the flowers in a peach color and used then used the over stamp in a coral color to make the rose. I stamped leaves onto the flowers using a different color green then the leaf branches and used the coordinating outline in a third green color.

I used one of the heart stamps in Love and Coffee  and a purple marker to create some little yellow flowers.

I then splashed the background with yellow, lavender, and gold mist spray. When it was dry, I layered some paper scraps over the front. I used a masking technique to emboss the sentiment from the Peace and Comfort set onto a scrap of white card stock in gold.

I popped the sentiment up from my card using foam adhesive.

I actually had a lot of fun looking at my stamps to see if I could use them in a slightly different way. I hope this card inspires you to take a look at your stamps and see what you can come up with.

Day 5 Sneak Peek for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps January 2018 Release-"Peace and Comfort"

Hey everyone!! Just popping in to show you a sneak peek of the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Peace and Comfort" stamp set.

I think of all the sets release this week, this is my favorite. I cannot tell you how many sympathy cards I create every month, either for me to give or someone asking me to make them a card to give.

Here is the card I created using the "Peace and Comfort" stamp set.

I started off this card by stamping the flowers in purple and yellow, along with the leaves in a row across a piece of white cardstock. I was originally going to make this a one layer card BUT when I was stamping, I got purple ink on the white card stock so I had to rethink my design.

Next I stamped the sentiment over the top of the flowers in black. I cut down the strip and layered it over an A2 card that I had covered in green patterned paper. I finished off the card by adding a black and white strip of patterned paper above the stamping.

This stamp set, as well as all the other stamp sets shown this week are available at the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Store under the "NEW" section. Use my code-NORASENTME to get 15% off your total order.
