What a fabulous Stamp Simply Team!!! Thank you girls!!! Much appreciated!!!
And here’s my sample:
When I first got my pad of Sultry by Basic Grey, I was just taken aback by this sheet of paper. I’ve been saving it because I knew I wanted to use it as an entire sheet and that I wanted to create an image that would blend right in with the design of the paper, and this is what I came up with. And I chose to use this sheet today because to me these colors are just really girly, and pretty!!! The card is 5.5″ square and the DP covers the entire card front.
My main image is the bleeding heart from Spring Ephemerals, which is a solid image set. I LOVE the versatility of these solid image stamps. They can be used to create stunning silhouettes or, as I did here, they can take on all the color you wish. I inked my stamp with my Color Box Chalk Cat’s Eye pads. These little pads work great for inking these stamps, and I truly find it relaxing to ink these stamps in this way. Sorry, but I can’t provide the exact colors for you. I stamped this image a month or so ago and never wrote down my colors. After stamping my image, it was cut and embossed with the Classic Rectangle Nestability by Spellbinders, then framed with the Scalloped Rectangle. My Sheer Apple Green Ribbon is doubled up to give it a bit more color, the brad is from the Sultry Brad pack by Basic Grey (it coordinates perfectly with the paper), and my butterflies are punched with a Martha Stewart punch. They are two layers — cardstock on the bottom and DP on the top. Love the feminine look of this relatively simple card - -hope you do too!!!
