The stamp I am using today makes me so happy! It has such a fun message....
It is spring here in Kansas and the colors are coming alive. I wanted to make a card using all the colors I am seeing outside. I love this time of year! We have had lots of rain and everything is blooming. Here is my card using all those springy colors....
Here is how I made this card:
1. First, I inked up the stamp on my Misti using Fresh Ink Strawberry, Peach, Chamomile and Basil. I was able to re-stamp the image a couple of times after sponging on the ink, and got a great solid image.
2. I cut out the main image with a stitched die.
3. I masked off the card base and used the same colors to ink blend in the blocks of color to coordinate with the card futon.
4. To finish it off, I added Glossy Accents to the "smile" on the front of the card.
