Stretch your stamps Day 1

Well folks, I am taking another online card class called Stretch Your Stamps. These kinds of cards are very difficult for me which is why I keep taking classes! I am just fine coloring images but you know, I don't always have time and would like to get halfway proficient at this type of card. Right now they take me twice as long as coloring!! I know, what a joke! But its true. We did some incredible things today and I am in process of making more cards, I only finished one and need to post it so I can be eligible for prizes!!!! This one was done with a rainbow type of stamp pad made from Tim Holtz's cut and dry foam. I don't have many background stamps so I just used this one and kept stamping until it ran out of ink (I only inked it one time). I am looking at it and you really can't see the shadow stamping. Oh well.

I loved the way the stamping came out but was at a loss what to do with it. Made that felt rose from TH's pinecone die when my daughter was visiting and figured it would fit nicely. The tiny flowers are raised stickers that I have had forever so I decided to use them. I kept thinking Easter and it kind of does look like an Easter card! That's the main reason you don't see a greeting - if its still here next Easter, its going to find a home away from mine!! Hope you like it. The other one is in process - I am waiting for the stickles to dry so I can put it together. It is a really unique take on what to do with a background stamp. Hugs to you all, Barb F
