One stamp two looks
This week for the Flourishes Friday, the ever talented Leslie, has challenged us to use one stamp set and make two cards with different looks. For my first card, I made a winter time Thank You card. Then for my second card, I made a clean and simple fall card. The easiest way for the stamps to look different was by coloring in the buds and bows different colors. Next, was to choose patterned paper that put me in the mood for that season. When I think of fall, I instantly imagine the color orange, so I picked out some Indian Summer designer paper, and orange stitched grosgrain ribbon. For the winter thanks card, I didn't want Christmas colors with are green and red, so I went with a softer color palette using creams, light blue-green and red tones. Since the fall card was so clean, I wanted to dirty up the thanks card, by just distressing the edges of the paper with ink. In this Seasonal Wreaths stamp set there are 4 different wreaths and several sentiments. The possibilities of all the different looks that you can achieve with this set really are endless. That is exactly what I look for when I am making a stamp purchase, it needs to be versatile.
Head on over to the Flourishes Newsletter for Leslie's tutorial on how she achieved her two card looks with the stamp set she chose.
