Cactus Flower

Hi everyone,

It’s time for another CHF challenge over on the Cornish Heritage Farms Blog . This week the challenge is hosted by Steph Ackerman.

This time round Steph has asked us to create a background with stamps.

For my card today I created a Flip-its card … I die cut the flip-its using green card and then die cut another from white paper and cut out the label in the centre which I used as a mask, I then used the Spanish Script Backgrounder and green ink to create my background. Rather than just stamp this the normal way, I inked up the backgrounder stamp and stamped just a little of the words at an angle onto my card and then masked what I stamped, changed the angle and stamped again until I had covered the whole card. So the script background is random.

In the centre of my card I used the Cactus Flower Digital Stamp.



Here is the flip side of my card. You can probably see a bit better how I did the script background. On the ‘flip side of the label I added two sentiments from the Script Essentials Expression set and also part of the Cactus Flower Digital Stamp again.

Want to play along????

If you would like to play along with us of course we would love to have you!

To play create a card using CHF images. You can use either CHF digi or rubber stamps to create a card or project.... anything you like as long as the stamps are Cornish Heritage Farms. (Yes, they can be older stamps.)

Once you have created your card/project come back here and place a comment with a link to your card/project to this post so that we can see what you created. If you upload your card/project to SCS don't forget to include the keyword CHF55. We can't wait to see what you create!

Don’t forget to check out the rest of the Design Teams blogs today so see what they created for this challenge.
