Big and Beautiful

Here is a sample showing both how you can dress up the "Arranged with Love" stamp with single flowers from "A Year of Flowers", as well as mat it on a larger card. I chose earthy colors and the sunflower for a card that would be pretty for summer or fall. The popped up sunflower covers the flower underneath and dips down below the border. One this 5x7 card (Garden Green 10x 7", scored at 5"), I now have room to use two of my greetings on the front, I chose these two sentiments to celebrate an anniversary. "Congrats!" fits perfectly along the bottom. More flowers are stamped inside with Versamark.

I haven't made cards larger than A2 very often in the past because most stamp images are a better scale for a smaller format, but I really like this look! (Perfect for when you need write to bunch inside!) ;)

The frame is stamped in Memento Black on one of the "solid" distressed sheets from a Basic Grey pack, colored with Copics and mounted on Pure Luxury Black Onyx.

This week I will be sharing how to mat this onto Nestabilities and using Peerless Watercolors with it. :) Happy Sunday!
