I was excited to see the Clean and Simple Colour Challenge at Splitcoast and the Hip on Handwriting Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. The colours looked gorgeous together and this card made me smile! The font on this stamp is wonderful.
Here's how I made my card. I inked the inside of an embossing folder from Darice with Distress ink.
(colours- Peeled Paint, Shaded Liliac, Dusty Concord, Picked Raspberry)
I masked the edges of my cardstock to give me a border of white, then I then sprayed my embossing folder with water and pressed my paper directly onto the ink. I added the sentiment from Penny Black called ...this Day then mounted my panel onto the blue cardstock and pop dotted that onto the front of my card.

Karen so your cards are always so inspiring to me. I appreciate how you explain methods and techniques which I use and share in a class I teach to seniors. Thank you.
Gorgeous! The colors are perfect! Thanks for the great tip; using embossing folders for stamping!

Karen, I really love your card! For me as a german, it's always great to see a qoute by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe on a non-german stamping card :)
