Today is my day to share my Pick of the Week with you on the House That Stamps Built blog. I did a special request last time, so today I am back to my Pinterest Inspired series.
Here is the card I was inspired by:
Here is the card I created:
I kept the same look, but oriented the whole scene to the opposite side of the card. I punched a circle for a mask for the moon, masked the edges of the panel with some washi tape and then blended on some blue inks for the sky. Then, I stamped the various stamps and colored in the "Cattails" image with a black fine line pen to create a silhouette image. And I wanted a little more interest (because I struggle with CAS one-layer cards!) so I die cut a dotted frame 4 times, adhered them together and glued them onto my panel. My cattails seemed to be floating a little bit, so I grounded them with the "Calm Water" stamp and added the "A Father Is . . ." sentiment. This will be my Father-in Law's Father's Day card. So, when you are scrolling through Pinterest, be inspired and then see if you can recreate it with stamps you own.
Supplies:
Stamps: Repeat Impressions "Cattails", "Sandcastle" birds only, "Calm Waters", and "A Father Is . . ."
Dies: Spellbinders "A2 Matting Basics A" (outer edge of the frame); Elizabeth Craft Designs "Garden Notes Frame It Stitched Rectangles" (inner edge of frame)
Fiskars Circle Punch for the "moon"
