Lots of flowers

The current challenge at Less is More is to create a CAS card using lots of tiny stamps, so out came my trusty old peg stamps (they are so old that they date from before Rubberstamp Tapestry became Card-Io).


I stamped a curved swathe of flowers in shades of pink and purple with some orange for contrast, and filled the gaps with various leaves. No, I've not counted how many individual images there are - a lot.

I spent ages experimenting with different positions for the sentiment, and eventually decided that this is the place that least affects the balance of the design, although now it's completed and photographed, I think perhaps it would look better if I'd used one with really bold letters and actually stamped it over the flowers, heat embossing it to emphasise the contrast. Do you agree?

I am sharing this with Less is More - More

    I like your card just as it is. I bought some more small stamps at the show on saturday from Stamposaurus who said they are retiring and closing down and they were selling the stamps off at a ridiculous price. Hugs Mrs A.

    Love how you created the floral corner with all those little stamps and the sentiment size is just perfect

    I think it looks lovely as it is Jane. Could get a little lost over the flowers. Thanks for joining in with my "make it girly" challenge at Allsorts.

    What lovely colours on this gorgeous card Jane, if only the garden could look like this now. We've had so much rain our grass needs cutting badly.

    Isn't it great to dig out some old stash once in a while?! These work brilliantly for our challenge and I think the sentiment placement is spot on. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x
