Fun Times

Let the Fun begin!

Here is a super simple card I made using a fun colour combination and a new stamp set I got from Simon Says Stamp recently.  It has a great retro look to it.

I wanted a nice, flat card easy for mailing so I began by stamping the sentiment from Hero Arts and masked it.  This set comes with a solid stamp so I began with that first, inking it with Memento Green and Martha Stewart blue.  I used my MISTI to get a nice, solid stamping.  
Lastly, I randomly stamped the leaf outlines all over my card front.
Easy, right?

 
Adding my card to these challenges:

Simon Says- ANYTHING GOES

The Male Room- SPOTS and STRIPES 



Sisters of Craft- ANYTHING GOES


I so appreciate YOU!  Thanks for coming by and taking a look.

Supplies:  stamps- Hero Arts, SSS/ Memento ink/ Martha Stewart/ post it note(for masking)/ MISTI

    This stamp set truly is FUN to play with. I adore the colors and design that you added with your own Karen signature colors and hues! Your card takes me right back to the TV series Mad Men ( I love that show!). Thanks so much for playing Simon Says Stamp Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge!

    I've been eyeing this set since SSS released it but it's been out of stock when I've wanted to order. I like it's CAS style. Nice work Karen.... very crisp!
