I love to use stamps in unexpected ways. I try to look at my stamps (especially solid ones) as shapes, rather than as an image. This card is made using Stampin' Up's! Big Deal Alphabet. Figured it out yet? The leaves are the 'v', the stem is the 'l' and the flower is the 'o'. (if I could figure out how to use the 'e', this could be a hidden 'love' card). The yellow flower 'off-centre' is the dot from the 'i'.
I love the graphic simplicity of this so much that I don't really want to add a sentiment. I used Gumball Green and Melon Mambo ink and cardstock, with a little dot of Summer Sun (and Stickles!).
Awesome letter flower! Never knew there was a gum ball green. I need some!
ReplyDeleteNow that's what I call graphic punch! Love the colors! I would have never guessed oversized letters:) So creative!
ReplyDeleteLove your letter flower and your colours are so vibrant--cool!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is so striking! I shall look at my solid stamps in a new way now.
ReplyDeleteI am bowled over by this clever card Ardyth! Love those colours too.
ReplyDeleteThis card has made me a fan of Gumball Green! Wasn't too sure about it until I saw this clever creation! I agree, no sentiment needed!

I truly think some of the best cards are made by using products in unconventional ways. You did so well with that on this card!! Love, love it, Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteYour hidden LOVE sentiment is such a cool idea...
How about GRASS? A couple "E's" on their side? Overlap them so the blades are fairly close together?!?
I love this card. If I see a page of cards, I can always pick out your card. Clean and simple.
