Yesterday I ended my post with today’s card was going to be a super simple yet Fabulous Friday card for you! When I was working on it before I left to go out of town…. Hannah’s comment was…. WOW – aren’t you the artsy one!!!
This not only was super easy…it was super fun and wow – -just think of all of the different colors you could use with this! I was inspired by another SUD, Brenda Keenan, and I was so intrigued that I just had to give it my spin!
Please try this and play with the colors! I would love to see your take on it and if you can email me your card – I would love to see it! Now there is one thing about this card…you need the Work of Art Stamp Set, so if you do not already have that, please click here and order it! It is a great stamp to have as you can do so many things with it.
The overall size of the card is a 4 ½” square and then the Baked Brown Sugar is a 4 ¼” square. The colors used for this card are Old Olive, Soft Suede, Baked Brown Sugar and Crushed Curry.
Let’s get going…you can click here and watch a video that Brenda Keenan did but I have some pictures for you that I think you will find it super easy to re-create! The size of the White Stamped piece is a 4” square!
- Start by stamping the sentiment and the dot (center of the flower) in Soft Suede.
- Using the Crushed Curry…ink up – STAMP OFF ON A SCRAP OF PAPER and then start making your flower petals. Do this “Stamp off” all the way for this card – I like the soft effect!
- After you are finished with the Crushed Curry go to the Baked Brown Sugar – STAMP OFF – this REALLY softens up the total look and feel!
- Lastly…the Old Olive for the leaves but turn your stamp around to stamp the image in the opposite direction! Again, STAMP OFF or it will be too dark!
Is this super fun or what! I feel like Picasso and I actually liked what I did! I think that I am going to do this card for my Stamp Camp later this month and I also think that this would be a super Breast Cancer Card. You could easily adapt it to a regular A-2 card size!
Well….whatcha think? It is very different for my style but I have to say – it felt great to be a bit out of the box! Help me think of other combinations for the flower…any suggestions would be great!
The envelope came to life with reading the handy dandy chart on the envelope punch board! Love that piece of plastic! I was oober happy with the liner today…it is from the Lullaby Designer Series Paper. I think that the color of Baked Brown Sugar is so yummy! It truly goes with everything….
I did it again! I just had to do the front of the envelope as it was so fun to do! I really….really felt "artist" with this whole card – it was down right FUN!
Tomorrow is Simple Saturday and it is as simple as it can get! It also uses this stamp set …I just had to get it inked up again before I put it away.

Fantastic card! I will watch the video and you can bet I will be trying this! I am totally in love with this. I was thinking sort of on these lines of makings something like a flower with that swoosh but just was unsure of how to do it. This is awesome!
Thinking of you……….
Susan, so sorry about losing your friend. Been there and it is so sad. But you have enjoyed him for many wonderful years. Cindy Bailey
This card is magnificent. Your work is better than Picasso. What a great way to think outside of the box and to utilize a stamp set in unexpected ways. Awesome!! I hope you don’t mind if I case this beautiful card. I was very sorry to read about the loss of Murphy. It is always so hard to lose a pet.
Your card turned out awsome too!
