Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the card that I shared during my Facebook Live on Wednesday night. I used the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set to create a easy layered card for someone that is retiring. I personally think the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set is perfect for any occasion but that's just me. Here's a look at the card that I did.
I love that you can do this card with all the layering and it just looks fabulous but is so super easy. I love cards like this when they look complicated but are easy as pie. Another thing that I love is that you can do the same design but by changing up the colors and images you get a completely different look to the card. Someone suggested during my Facebook live that pink would be pretty. And, it so would.
When I first designed this card I created the one you see above using the large floral image from the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set. I paired the large flower with Early Espresso a color that is used in a lot of masculine themed cards. I personally think it's a wonderful color for anytime. I love it's rich bold tone and earthy rawness. Which is why I also think it plays nicely with the large hibiscus. So for the card that I did during the live I wanted to change things up just a little so I decided to change up the stamped image and the color.
So I decided to use pool Party and the large leaf image from the stamp set to change things up a little and to share how versatile the stamp set really is. I can not decided which card I like the best; which is your favorite? I really love the mix fonts in this stamp set. If you want me to by a stamp set have flowers and mix fonts in it and it's as good as sold.
I was not worried about the images not lining up all the way. I wasn't actually going for that but some of them did and that's okay too. But, I didn't do the style stamping where I wanted the stamped images on each layer to look as if they were all lined up perfectly. I was fine with them being off just a tad. Most probably didn't even notice that until I pointed it out.
