This Clean and Simple card is the result of a little experiment.
Here you can see the bits and pieces I used, you can see the 'stamp' mounted on an acrylic block, the wastage from the lorry stamp and the Bigz die which did the cutting!Yesterday I had a shipment of SU goodies and after trimming and mounting the stamps onto their wooden blocks, I had a reasonable amount of wastage from the lorry stamp. This gave me an idea.
I looked to see if I had a Sizzix Bigz die with a small enough image to cut a stamp from this wastage. The baby's head from my Pea and Pea-pod die just about squeezed in.
The next thing was to try to cut it, which my Cuttlebug did, like a dream.
I decided to change the backing to EZ Mount and had a go at printing it with this result.
Charisma Cardz has the challenge to try something new this week. I've certainly never tried this before!
What an innovative idea. Worked really well too... great card.

Very clever. I gave my mum the wastage from my Butterfly stamps, i thought she'd be able to do something with them too. I always find it a shame to throw these bits away.
