The first card I made with my new Starbursts stamp from Hero Arts has a colored card base. Go figure!
I love the starburst flowers. Their graphic style and fun lines make me happy. You'll be seeing more of these. I feel like I've just scratched the surface of possibilities with them!
No chatting tonight. Too tired. There will be a new OLW on Wednesday. Y'all sure are getting jiggy with the last one! I hope to comment on them all soon.
Supplies
stamps: Hero Arts (Starbursts), Papertrey (Birthday Basics)
ink: Brilliance lavender, Memento black
paper: almost amethyst, basic black (SU), white (PTI)
accessories: black gemstones (Hero Arts)
I love everything about this card. It just feels like it looks right. I'd like to bottle up your design tricks and ingest them myself. Short of that, I'm going to keep reading and learning. Why is this card so pleasing?
ReplyDeleteGreat card. I may have to add that stamp to my wish list.
ReplyDeleteI like the way the sentiment goes up the side of the card.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this card! Colors, composition, you name it, it's perfect:)

This stamp is on my wish list... you just make me drool for them more! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot!
ReplyDeleteNothing says CAS has to be white. VERY pretty and, lucky you, you found a way to use 4 flowers!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! A surprise to see coloured card, but it works so well and I do like that stamp!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous flowers Susan, love the whole design, Gay xxx
ReplyDeleteFabby card my dear. I really like the font used in the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card - simple but elegant. I think I might just have to get the Starbursts as well. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLove the coloured card base, the contrast of the black and the 'sideways' sentiment (I'm going to have to buy that set again because that sentiment in my set will not stick to my block anymore, no matter how much I clean it - and it's one of my absolute faves!)
ReplyDeleteI love your color combo and graphics. Everything screams, "UP" and "WOW!";)
ReplyDeleteSusan, this is gorgeous! Those starbursts are so pretty, and pairing them with this color cardstock is beautiful. Love the interest of the sideways sentiment, and the teeny frame of black around the starbursts. Great job putting all this together to make a really attractive card. Can you get HA to give all your followers a discount on those starbursts? I feel a purchase coming on!
ReplyDeleteA fab design Susan & love that stamp!

Fabulous colour combination, Susan! And gorgeous new stamps - can't wait to see more of it.
ReplyDeleteI love starburst flowers, too, and have a couple brands, but not this one. I feel a HA purchase in my future. I adore these colors together, too; stunning!
ReplyDeleteI like the sunburst stamps. Your card is very nice! I like the colors and your sketch. :)
ReplyDeletethis is fab, and a small step away from the cards you've been posting lately.. love it! M x
