I often see interesting images in everyday objects. I see smiles in the inner workings of my toaster, the front of cars and my razor! Cloud shapes are very entertaining. And occasionally I see odd things in the yard or woods only to find it's just a leaf! When I first laid eyes on this die I immediately saw abstract flowers! I added a "thank you" sentiment with a bold font to go with my chunky abstract flowers. Lastly, I added a pretty bow around the bouquet!
I get a kick out of extending my stamps and dies by finding different ways to use them! Now here is a project featuring the same die but this time I am using it in the way it was intended! I stamped this gorgeous sea on the lower portion of the card then die cut the splash on the upper layer. It's peaceful to look out past a body of water at the horizon, hence the calming sentiment! But, I used only the first word of the sentiment by masking off the rest.
Lastly, I added Wink of Stella to the sea for a dash of sparkle!

Now here's one more look at the items I used today.
Gorgeous cards, Ang! I love the flower bouquet... very imaginative! And a beautiful water scene featuring the splash!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you have used the die differently, lovely cards.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards so very nicely done, and creative! I like how the colors pop in the first one!
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool die & you're so creative making 2 totally different cards with it!
ReplyDeleteWow, Angie, the first card is gorgeous! I LOVE how you've used the die and love the beautiful colors! It's stunning, and I love the second one. Such a beautiful die! Hugs and love! xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh what a great use of the stencil Angie - love that you 'saw' flowers in it, as well as the use for which it was designed - when i saw it over water, I thought of a whale spout too....
