I used a stamp that is a set of four small stamps all together. It was pretty quick to stamp all over a full size card front. I used Delicata Gold which is a shimmery pigment ink, heat setting it to help speed up the drying time. I used an orange Zig to add just a little colour to the flowers. Then I split my panel to create two cards with the one card front. I used the same ink direct to paper and cut two thin strips to add to the cards. Happy with how they turned out.
Here they are separately ...

ReplyDeleteWonderful set of cards, Loll! Those flowers are so sweet and great idea to stamp a whole panel of them to get two cards. The gold strip separating top and bottom is lovely. Thanks so much for sharing! :) Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteSO simple and soooo pretty Loll! What a perfect way to use small stamps...love it!! :0)
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYour Delicata Gold shimmery pigment ink is so pretty on both your cards. Perfect with your orange Zigs. I still have not tried the split panel technique. So wonderful how you created 2 beautiful cards out of one beautiful stamped background. TFS Loll. Hugs..
ReplyDeleteGreat use of one panel for two cards! Love the sunny colours!
ReplyDeleteI've been having fun with cutting to get 2 cards lately. I even have this same stamp. Hope my version will turn out at least nearly as beautiful as yours. I shall think wonderful thoughts of you while I play.
ReplyDeleteThese cards are lovely, Loll.
ReplyDeleteYou used a beautiful stamp to stamp your golden background, Lolly! Great idea to cut the panel to leave some white space and make two cards! I love both versions!! Hugs, Dolly

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful pattern, Loll! Looks like high end DSP to me! I love that you chose Delicata Gold and how you added a pop of color to the blooms...so sweet! Your thin strip of direct to paper strips are really elegant, too!
ReplyDeleteTwo amazing cards here Loll!such pretty little flowers and colours too. Thanks for sharing with us over at 'The Flower Challenge'and we hope to see you again soon ;) Viv DT xx
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty, Loll, both of them ... those whimsical blooms with the gold ink are a fabulous combination! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully coordinated cards, Loll. I like how the direct to paper strips pull bring the pattern and white space together.
ReplyDeleteMaking two from one was a great idea, Loll. The gold flowers are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love a beautiful panel created by stamping. You do not need to buy expensive papers, you can create such miracles yourself. Big projects. This is an amazing set of cards.
