In one of the comments about the tutorial I wrote about taking a piece of scrap rubber and making a stamp from it using a punch, I was asked if I had a card with the punched flower to show you all. Well, I didn't but now I do!! You asked for it so here it is!!!I used the new Purely Pomegranate card stock and ink pad. For the stamps I used "Fine Lace" and "All Year Cheer" for the words. The flower was stamped using the one I made. Click here for the tutorial on how to make that stamp. After I stamped it on Whisper White card stock using the Pomegranate pad, I punched it out and set it aside to dry. I punched another flower out using a piece of scrap paper. I placed the scrap paper just below the tip of the flower and colored that area in with a black marker. I did this for each petal. I place a button in the center and taped everything together. I used a Dimensional under the flower. It was too bulky under it with the word layers. SO, I not only made a stamp from a punch but I also made a card using the stamp.
Thank you for stopping by!

I cannot wait until I can get my hands on that Pomegranate! Fabulous job!
ReplyDeleteThis card is so pretty. I've been saving a pile of cut rubber, but nothing is big enough for this. I am planning on mounting a "mosaic" background stamp as soon as my DH cuts the wood for me. I thought I'd also make some kind of background with long skinny strips of rubber (might look like bamboo if I try hard). Thanks for your idea and card.
ReplyDeleteYou clever girl. Thank you for sharing that technique. Now if only I had saved my spare rubber...shocking that I actually don't have that hoarded in my stash!!! Now I know better. Nothing is trash, just an art project waiting for a great idea to come along.
ReplyDeleteLovely card! I too never had enough left over to make a flower!
ReplyDeleteBut I did make a mosaic with triangles and it looks neat!
Thanks for sharing this card-it's great! Motivating me to try it.
ReplyDeleteI love the richness of the black and pomegranate together. Thanks for the tip on an easy way to put color on the edge of flower petals!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog, TFS.
I love the card you made with your punched out stamp. Great job Wanda!
