Today I had some fun making some 5" x 7" cards
using a digital stamp from the Beccy's Place Store,digital sentiments, also from Beccy's Place and combined them with some fussy cutting and layering.
No, you're not seeing things, this is my second card today. It's the same image as the first one shared earlier, except I have rotated the image, used the same sentiment and made a top folding landscape card.
I printed the image panel on white textured cardstock, trimmed to size, matted with Apricot Weave cardstock, trimmed to 1/16" border using a Perfect Layers Ruler, adhered to a 5" x 7" cardstock panel, then adhered the panel to a top folding card base.
I made the card base by cutting two 5" x 7" 300gsm smooth cardstock panels,
scoring the "top back" at 3/4" then adhering the top panels together.
I printed off an extra large flower and if you look closely,
you will be able to see the subtle dimension it adds to the card.
Some days you need to do some "scissor therapy".
Although my hands were hurting, I fussy cut a large flower to go on the front of each of my four cards and it felt good to see them slightly curled in readiness for gluing. I went around the edges of each flower with my Memento Tuxedo Black Ink dual tip marker, so that no white edges were visible.
And here is a pic of the card I mentioned earlier, the image is mirrored,
then rotated and the same sentiment used.
I made another card by rotating the original image
to the right and added a different sentiment.

Being able to flip and rotate the image is one of my favourite things about digital stamps Tracy. I love that you've given a different view of the same pretty flower.

Thank You so much Beccy!
DeleteDigital stamps make it so easy to use a single image and create completely different versions with a little rotation, mirroring and flipping :)
