As usual, the card I have made for him reflects his love of gardening and this time in particular his love of growing chillies.
At Christmas he bought me a beautiful collection of Sheena Douglass veg themed stamps. The trouble is they are HUGE, each image fills the front of a large card, and needs little else with it, so I've been trying to think of ways to use them in more versatile ways.
Here I stamped the bunch of chillis then moved a stitched rectangle die around over the image until I found an area that looked good in the window of the die, then cut it with the die in that position. Then I coloured it with Promarkers - if you squint carefully you can see that I used several shades of red. Once it was completely dry, I covered it in clear embossing ink and powder and heated it, so in real life it is an intensely glossy panel.
For the background I used a Versamark pad and a silhouette chilli stamp from a Rubber Dance set to stamp randomly over the green card. Finally I added a stamped sentiment, also cut with a stitched die to go with the chilli panel.

Lovely bright card. I love growing chillies as well. Hope you both have a lovely day.
This is a super card for your hubby. (For the first time in 25yrs I will be be having my Brithday at home and not in my beloved Italy). Have you thought of die cutting out flowers /butterflies from the large image once you have coloured It? You may not see the design necessarily but it would be another option of using the large stamps. Keep safe and well and carry on crafting. Hugs Mrs A.
