What does one do when one wants to have a clean and simple (CAS) card but wants to use a huge stamp? Easy. Only stamp about half of it! Our minds fill in what's missing.
How I made this card:
First, I chose a 5"-square card blank. Then, I stamped the dragonfly (Rubber Monger) with Versafine Onyx black ink. After that, I stamped the Chinese coin (Just For Fun) in Versamark and embossed it with gold. Next, I colored in the dragonfly using Twinkling H2Os in Teal Zircon for the body and Summer Breeze for the wings. The shimmer doesn't show up in the scan, but it's there.

DeleteYou're so right about how to use a large stamp on a CAS card. Looks spectacular! Thanks so much for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you join in with future challenges too.
ReplyDeleteThis card is just gorgeous! How clever to use only some of the stamp. I love dragonflies, they are my favorite bug...I even like them more than butterflies, LOL.
