Celebrating You!

Happy Saturday! 
...and a long weekend too. 
I'm hoping to get some gardening and some stamping time in.

Here is a super fast card I created using my Distress Oxide inks and some products from Penny Black.  I think it took me about 10 minutes to do this one and I just love this colour combination.

For my card base, I used a piece of acetate inked with DOX inks.
To see my tutorial on this go here:

I die-cut the leaf and when the ink was dry, I placed the card base into my Misti and stamped the sentiment then glued on the leaf.


Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Have a great weekend.

Gorgeous acrylic block stamped background, Karen. I love the simplicity of your die cut leaf and of course, love your sentiment too. You always have the most wonderful and thoughtful sentiments, my friend.

Hope you get in some playing time this long weekend. Hugs...

The ink transferral using the acetete is a great technique Karen, and love the colours and the white leaf stands out beautifully against it, and a wonderful sentiment too. x
