Flowers for Make My Monday

When I saw the theme for Make My Monday this week I was pleased, then spotted the dreaded words 'clean and simple' which isn't really my chosen style. I decided that while the floral bouquet stamp by Chocolate Baroque was out I would use it again but in a different way.  I've had this stamp plate for quite a while but to my shame this the first time I'd actually used that particular stamp - shame really because it is so pretty.  I cut a mask out of thin card using a Spellbinder die and coloured through it using distress inks before stamping the flowers in black - a simple stamped sentiment and the CAS floral card is done.  Do take a look at the various ideas made by their design team - lots of ideas there.

The sunshine seems to have deserted us for now and it is dull, grey and very wet this morning so you can probably guess what I will be doing today.- once I've tidied away the stray ink pads, stamps and so on which seem to be cluttering my working space.


PS there is a great giveaway from the Ribbon Girl - leave them a comment to be in with a chance

    You might dread CAS but you've done a great job here Val. I'm with Veronica with this, I love the quintile, but this is better.

    Looks brilliant with those soft colours for the inked background against the black of the stamped image. I always muck up an attempt at CAS - not an easy one at all.

    Ohhh, this is lovely Val. So effective with the pastel sponged background and the bold floral on top. Great one layer CAS card.
