Sometimes you just have to play to find something that works.
Can you believe that I FORGOT to order the Artfully Composed patterned paper? Duh! I was placing an order, which included the Artfully Layered stamp set and the Tropical Layers dies, and somehow, I neglected to add the coordinating paper. So...
Ingenuity to the rescue. I just made my own. I stamped the various leaf images using Mango Melody, Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay and Granny Apple Green inks all over a page of Basic White cardstock. then I cut it down to make four 4" x 5-1/4" card front layers.
But...I didn't really like what I had. CASEing to the rescue! LeeAnn Greff made a card using strips of a stamped piece (you can see it here) and it got me thinking about how I could resuscitate my (now wasted) stamped cardstock. So I cut up my pieces and here is the results:
Isn't that bright and fun?
And look at that layered word, "thanks". That is two of the dies in the Amazing Thanks die set, available in the January - June 2022 Mini Catalog. This set of 8 dies (four words and four "shadows") are a great size - here I used the word as the focal point on my card.
The stamped strips are each 1" x 3-1/4", and they are mounted on an embossed Mango Melody piece measuring 3-3/4" x 5".
I'm so glad I was able to save my stamped background, and I love how this card came out!
And now I'm waiting for my designer paper to arrive, and I'll have fun playing with the stamps all over again!
