Hearts and Flowers

Hearts and Flowers



Happy Saturday Everyone!


Have a bit of a confession to
make today - I didn't notice I
was a project short for the week
until this afternoon.  Oooops!

Bit late in the day to approach
the DT I thought ............. 

Searched through my stash and
found I had some Honey Doo Stamps
so without further ado I put together
a quick and simple card to share
with you 



I masked off a strip on the bottom
third of the card using Post-It Notes
and taking a Smoothie and Abandoned Coral
Distress Ink I coloured the strip

The next stage was to stamp the main image 
in Black Archival ink


So far, so good!

Time to colour in the image and
I just swooshed some Abandoned Coral
and Cracked Pistachio on my cutting
mat, add a little water to get the colours
moving and a paint brush


Then I stamped a few hearts
along the "ribbon" using the
Abandoned Coral Distress Ink
and added a greeting


I'm afraid I have no idea
who the greeting is by - it has been
on my desk since way back when.
Likewise, the heart is also anonymous

Materials:

Card Blanks
Honey Doo Stamps
Archival Ink
Distress Ink



I do admit to have secretely enjoyed
making this card for you.........

 although I am sure you will greet the
Design Team with open arms
when they come back next week

"Till tomorrow

  3. This card is beautiful Mickie - I find cards so difficult, not into simple and elegant but you've perfected the style! Rachel

  4. It's beautiful Mickie and great to have a CAS card. Although crafters often like to pile on the layers I find most of my friends and family prefer simple elegant cards. We have to remember our audience too!

    1. Agree wholeheartedly! As much as I like messy play, I try to make cards in the style the recipient will like.

  6. Great card Mickie, it really shows off those lovely Honey Doo flowers. I agree with the other comments above about CAS cards. I love messing about with layers of ink and paint but when it comes to cards, use of white space wins every time.
