Hi everyone. I'm sharing more cards using the Sophistication (40-929) stamp. This time I only used a portion of the image and made it into a postage stamp card. I stamped on mixed media paper in black ink and clear heat embossed. Salvage Patina is sponged on the background before I watercoloured the image with distress inks.
I used the Posted Cut Out (51-778) to create a background of my stamp. I cut the image down to fit inside the postage stamp, leaving a white border. I finished the image by adding the accessory stamps from the Posted stamp set (30-985) in Lost Shadow Distress ink. A simple sentiment (Super Day - Penny Black) was added in black ink before I popped up the postage stamp panel to add dimension.

I made a quick, CAS card using the same image, this time an even smaller portion. :) I had it on my desk, along with the All-in-One Oval and I thought they would look sweet together. I stamped the flowers in black ink, clear heat embossed and watercoloured with Distress Inks (Picked Raspberry, Ripe Persimmon, Mowed Lawn). I wanted to add a subtle background for the flowers, so I sponged with Shabby Shutters distress ink on an angle. Then I added two stacked oval frames and a simple sentiment (Family Sentiments - Penny Black) stamped in black.

Sending the second card to the Simply Clean & Simple Challenge - June.

Two very pretty cards. I never fail to be impressed with how you use colour. Just brilliant. I love them both xx
ReplyDeleteI love how you use your Penny Black stamps, Loll! This one is just as beautiful when cut down to a smaller size, looking all clean and fresh with lots of white space. Love the postage style of the first card, and the touch of shading on the second card. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteTwo absolutely BEAUTIFUL and CAS cards Loll! I love the postage look of your first card...anything postage seems to be so popular today!! The oval card is just as beautiful and I'm in love with the detail on that oval die cut...might just have to look into that one! Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely ways to use that stamp - at first I didn't realize it was the same stamp. Great variation with the postal stamp border and the pierced oval frame.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful cards. x
ReplyDeleteYour DI coloring is fabulous on both cards, Loll. That frame is wonderful on the CAS card.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers look beautiful on both cards Loll and I love the postage card frame with the added postmarks on the first, and the pierced oval frame with just a smaller piece of the flower behind it looks equally good, and the pink and then orange tones of the both look so bright and eye catching. x
ReplyDeleteTwo more beautiful cards using this stamp, Lolly! I love the different ways you've presented this image! Beautifully colored and framed!
ReplyDeletetwo gorgeous cards Loll. The postage stamp is so sweet with the partial image of the flower and I love the oval frame is so pretty with the circular pinholes.
ReplyDeleteAnother fab duo Loll. Those postage stamps and dies are on my wish list, so versatile! :)
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautifully created with that pretty stamp, each so unique in the finished design!!

Two beautifully CAS cards. I love the postage stamp die, it creates such a pretty frame for that gorgeous stamped image xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image, and your cards are fabulous! While they use the same flower, they are so different, and beautiful texsture too
ReplyDeleteLove the CAS style with the dramatic color in the center! A beauty! Thanks for sharing with us at Penny Black Saturday Challenge! 💕 Sue Kment
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards using the same stamp. Using the top only in that circle frame is a wonderful way to stretch the look of the stamp. Using different colors make such a difference too. You never fail to inspire me.
ReplyDeleteJust love the two very different looks with that same stamp, Loll - your coloring looks amazing!!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness - you are such an inspiration Loll,.... why not use just a small part of a stamp... that's all you need, and you've framed them beautifully with two very different die cuts... wonderful cards, hugs Robyn
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed this post and I just came across it on NBUS, Lolly. These are both so sweet, colored beautifully, and I love the framing choices for your designs! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! (They fit the inky week on I.D.E.A.S, too, so
ReplyDelete📌📌!) Hugs, Darnell
Fabulous cards!
