I decided to grab a few stamps that have large images and make them the focal point of the card. Sometimes I'm a little intimidated by a large image stamp, because I'm not sure how to incorporate it into a card. Do I add a background or not? Balancing a large image with other elements on the card is not always easy for me. Since summer has officially started, I decided to go with some beach themed stamps. I stamped the large starfish after I pulled out some aqua color ink. I love the combo of brown & aqua. After I put the card together, I decided to stamp and emboss the greeting because there was too much empty space on the card. I really like how the card balanced out so well.
On the next card I used a large fish stamp I've had for years, but had never used. I first stamped the image with a light orange chalk ink on a orange card stock. Then I decided to stamp the image with white pigment ink and emboss with white embossing powder. I think it really pops more. Because the image is so large, I decided to go with a small sentiment . I used a large pearl for the eye. I then added a strip of bright blue paper.
