Less is More #425 Summer Flowers

Hello there,

It's Saturday and that means it's time for our new challenge at Less is More







A nice warm summery one this time.

I have two cards to share with you,

 I love colour and this Flourishes Gerbera Daisy stamp just cries out for the brightest colours.
It's one of my favourite stamps and it's so versatile, I use it more than any other stamp I think.
I stamped it sideways on and then masked it off and stamped again at an angle to make the flowers fit, ( does that make sense?)
Then I simply coloured it with a mix of Promarkers and Specrum Noir pens.
The sentiment is from a set by Marion Emberson Designs

For my second card I've toned things down a bit with pastel colours.
This is another Flourishes stamp, Orchids and again you get to have free reign over colours.

I stamped and coloured the image before cutting it out with a stitched recangle die. I cut another rectangle slightly bigger and matted them up with foam pads.
I had a little accident when stamping the sentiment onto the card base so had to stamp again onto a mat to cover it. Luckily it was easily solved.

I bought these stamps back in the days when I made fussy cards, long before I discovered CAS but I think both designs show that even though they might be a bit twee, they can still be CAS.

Please check out the other DT posts and give them some love and take some inspiration.
