Hello Everyone! It's Aga here and today I have a simple card to share with you using Floral Shadow Stamp Set. It's not a secret that floral stamp sets are my favourite, they are always perfect to create beautiful and elegant arrangements. But this time I wanted to go outside the box and create something to mimic a modern abstract pattern I saw the other day in a magazine. Here’s what I came up.
I started by stamping a few floral images from the Floral Shadow Stamp Set to cerate a background. I chose to use here the following Altenew Crisp Dye Inks: Volcano Lake, Lagoon, Sea Glass, Blush, Cotton Candy and Sand Dunes. Next, I used fine tip of Altenew black marker to create a dotted background in the spaces between the flowers.
To finish my card I used a scrap of black cardstock and die cut the Altenew Bold Alphabet Dies to make “hi” and mounted the negative panel using foam squares.
At first I wanted to trim the bottom edge of the panel to make a perfect rectangle but then I decided to leave it as it is. I think this random shape gives more interest to the card. What do you think?
Thank you for stopping by today. Have a beautiful day!
Aga

WOW!! Love this, and the added dots are brilliant. :-)
Love the random shape in the middle. And i love that it’s from scrap! Great card.
Given the abstract look of the card, I agree, the random cut on the bottom of “Hi” is perfect. TFS!
very pretty background!!
Pretty card! I like the dots and the random cut on the “Hi.”
What a great idea! Thank you!
That’s a beautiful background that you created with the floral stamps and black dots. We need a tutorial.:)
Love the soft colors with the crisp black on top! Beautiful! TFS!

Super fun card and GORGEOUS! Love it!
Aga, you are the Queen of CAS design! This is as special as so many of your creations. Great abstract design and the scrap cardstock as is a perfect touch, it represents a thought/speech bubble to me. Love as is!
This card makes me swoon – Aga’s cards usually do.
I have pondered over the Floral Shadow set and now your card. Easy design and you are right the shape of the card does add interest and finishes it off. Thank you.
WOW Aga, I love this. How awesome! ♥♥♥
Yes yes yes. Love the “as is” scrap. I do that often. And I’m crushing on all those teensy dots.
