Still cranking out birthday cards! This wasn't made with any of my 500 (only slightly exaggerated!) Jan/Feb/Mar birthday people specifically in mind, but it may end up being used for one of them if I don't come up with something better. I love how the rainbow colours pop off the black and white, and I also love the intensity of the double-stamped inner petals - such an easy little trick to add a lot of depth and interest to flat stamping!
I made this flower about 10 times, and trick really became cropping it properly, so it felt balanced and had enough of each colour but was still interesting.
Michael's sentiment, Paper Smooches leaves used as petals.
Stunning!
ReplyDeleteI love this Ardyth!

ReplyDeleteFabulous bloom Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an amazing rainbow card, I will be CASEing you tonight!
ReplyDelete8 times? I would have given up after 3, or said "Good enough" and went with what I had. You have such patience and a good eye.
ReplyDeleteI've fallen behind applauding your stunning cards, mainly due to blogger playing havoc with my comments and a trip to visit family. Fingers crossed this one will stick (Monday...new start)! LOVE this card; LOVE alll you cards! I know you're likely tired of hearing this, but it's the truth: you rock with the cas, unique, fresh bold designs. A visit here = inspiration, ++++

Gorgeous card and awesome Michael's sentiment! I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one that 'practices' stamping and re-stamping....over and over....to get it right! Perseverance paid off, because this is another stunning creation Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteGosh, Ardyth--this one has your name all over it. Lovely placement, color choices and design.
ReplyDeleteLove the flower! And great how it pops of the black! Have a great week, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how cropping the flower adds so much to the design! Fabulous. And I love the handwritten font on that sentiment.
ReplyDeleteYour leaves turned into flower petals are so pretty. The rainbow colors really pop against the black and white.
ReplyDeleteLove it, Ardyth ... the bright, bold, rainbow bloom, the font of the sentiment, the strong black and white ... fabulous! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cool. Rainbow colors look great with black :)
