Field Flowers has to be one of my most favorite flower stamps. I needed to make two birthday cards. Hubby's twin sisters had a birthday this month! Making cards for them is easy because I just make two at the same time. All the supplies are sitting out, that makes the card making quick. My sister's have different birthdays so I usually make them different cards. We even buy his sister's the same gifts too!
These cards were fun to make. I LOVE two step stamping. I did use my Stamp-a-ma-jig for these cards. I wanted to get the outline image on exactly where it is suppose to be. I didn't want to just guess, though sometimes that makes a very pretty and different card too!
I saw this image used on SplitCoastStampers and the colors the gal used were Riding Hood Red and Calypso Coral. I didn't think the two would go together very well until I saw it for myself. The Riding Hood Red was used as the outline part of the flower which made the coral color glow a little!
The base of this card is white with a layer of Calypso Coral on top of that. Then the stamped white panel was added on top of that.
The stem of the flower was done in Always Artichoke. A green I thought would be too dark. I usually head for the Garden Green or Wild Wasabi. I do like how the artichoke looks with these colors.
These cards were not only fun to make but easy too!
