Fall Cards - True Friend

Making these two cards was easy... all you have to do was flip the layout! These cards were from today's Flip Challenge #4 from Paper Pleasing Ideas and also from the Color Inspiration Challenge #23 from KwernerDesignBlog, so I really didn't have to do too much thinking for these cards. I like that!

For this card, I used the "rock and roll" technique on the flower. I first covered the stem and leaves with tape, then I proceeded to stamp the flower portion of the stamp on So Saffron. After that's well coated, touch only the outer edge of the flower on the Bravo Burgundy ink pad with a swirling back and forth movement of your wrist. Remove the tape from the stem and leaves, huff on the rubber stamp, and stamp the flower image onto Whisper White card stock. You can probably see from these pictures how well the two colors blended so well together. I made the flower 3-D by cutting it out and also clipping between the petals and curling them a bit. Then I used dimensionals to adhere it to the front of the card with one already stamped with the stem included.

I made two of these same cards, but by flipping the layout, I now have two different cards. Pretty neat!
