Large digital stamp play

I was sorting through some of the digital stamp images I have printed off and found this Alex Siberia designs one that I mistakenly printed off far too large and decided to just play with it and then see what happens! And what happened was I made two cards from the printed image.

The image was printed on cream cardstock and almost filled a piece of A4. I decided to paint it with my inks and just have fun colouring in!

At first all the flowers were all painted the pink colour but I did end up adding red to the long card when I chose the sentiment.

Once I coloured in the whole image and it had dried I decided to make a DL card where the image covers most of the panel.

I trimmed the panel to a size that is slightly smaller than my standard DL sized card which I then made from the same cream coloured cardstock.

I did add two scraps of cardstock behind the panel to add a little dimension – it just helps separate the panel and the background a little.

I then chose the die cut sentiment which was in the pouch but the best colour was the red one so I then added the red ink to the flowers and again left it to dry before carrying on with the card.

I actually love the mix of the pink and the red on the petals – would never have thought to do it if I hadn’t chosen the die cut sentiment – funny how these creative choices just evolve!

I added the little stamped sentiment and then the gems and decided with that large image it was done!

Next I turned to the part of the image leftover.

I kept this one pink and mounted on pink and then onto a pink card base.

Again I kept it simple and this one didn’t add dimension at all. I added the foiled sentiment and then the gems and decided again that the large beautiful imagery did the job perfectly!

A good use of a printing mistake and also it’s reminded me how much I loved this image so may well have to print some more so I can always have fun colouring these lovely florals!

Happy crafting!
