A Blog Named Hero has "clean and simple" for its challenge this month and I've made a twofer with a new (to me) set - Togetherness Flower Bouquet.
In order to make two top folding cards, I cut my cardstock to 4.25"x11". With the cs horizonal, I lightly marked the center with pencil (5.5") and stamped the image with half on either side of the pencil mark - and then turned the stamp and repeated. I colored all the flowers and leaves before cutting the piece in half - so ended up with two pieces 4.25"x5.5". If you look at both cards you will be able to see where they match up. On the bottom card, I added some striped washi tape and the sentiment from the stamp set. On the top card, I just cut a narrow strip of black, added a different sentiment and a few black enamel dots. To finish both, I used some black spatter before adhering to a white card base. Two CAS cards for the price of one!!!
Hope to see your CAS cards this month on the challenge blog - and you may win either a $25 or $50 gift card from Hero Arts!
Thanks for stopping by.
Love the addition of the black stripes. Lovely cards.
