Wildflowers

Hello-

Along with laundry that never seems to end...I played with another stamp set from my bin.  This one is called Wildflowers from MFT.

Inspiration for the cards came from two challenges, Just us Girls - Black Background, and Watercooler Wednesdays - Occasions.

I stamped each image and a few of them twice before coloring with Copic markers.  I then over-stamped them with versafine to get a nice bold black outline.  Once again I put my poor thumbs to work fussy cutting.  The shapes were fairly easy.  (I have got to learn how to cut them out using my small cameo.)



I grouped all the yellow together inside a small cut frame also by MFT, added a sentiment to the frame and mounted them on a black card base. A few yellow gems were sprinkled about. I love the dramatic look.





The remaining pieces were placed together on a pierced square sitting in my paper bin. I added blue gems and a blue card base.  After cutting down the card base, I added a sentiment using the left over bit of cardstock.


Thanks so much for visiting.

Oooh, two pretty cards! Love them both! The stamps are really cute. The yellow on black is very crisp and vibrant, and the second card is a really pretty color mix. One more stamp set out of your bin -- yay! Laundry... I don't know how just Rich and I can generate so much laundry, but it seems like I'm always working on it.

Love both of these, Cat! The happy yellow really pops against the black, and those softer colors on the second card are beautifully soothing!

Delightful florals, Cat ... the black and yellow is so dramatic and striking ... and how deliciously spring-like is your birthday bouquet! Hugs, Anita :)

What a gorgeous pair of cards Cat! I love the yellow flowers bursting from their frame against the black background and the beautiful wilder looking flowers on the second. You really inspired me to take a look at my unused stash the other day - not that I have that much but I agree that we should be using what we have :)

Two very different feels from your cards, Cat. One is soft and Spring-like and the other vibrant in yellow and black. I love how the flowers flow in and out of the frame. Thanks for sharing that card with us at Just Us Girls.
