Everyday

Meet today's card.
This is what happened when I got a few new stamps and decided to sit down and just freestyle stamp.
I just love this fun sentiment I picked up by Impression Obsession.  It has such a fun and whimsical looking font and I wanted to make it the 'star' of the show.

So to begin my card, I placed my cardstock into my Misti and stamped the background script then the circles in London Fog Memento ink.  By stamping the background all in the same colour, it helps create the look of a collage theme and it is a great way to get more use of your stamps by combining them on one card.  Then I stamped the flowers from Magenta to one side, leaving room for my sentiment.
Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in a bright red with Fired Brick Distress ink to help make it pop.


Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

I love the combination of red and grey Karen and the beautiful wildflower stamp from Magenta is complemented so prettily with the background stamping, and the sentiment looks great stamped in red. x
