Good Morning.
Super simple note card today.
I had some time to just play around with ink; something I love to do.
Here are my card details.
I planned on making a clean, CAS card so I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock for my card front. Instead of inking directly onto my stamp, I wanted to try and get more of a watercoloured look so I rubbed my Distress Oxide ink pads onto my non-stick craft mat, sprayed with a bit of water and wiggled my stamp into the wet ink. I was so pleased with the stamped image I achieved.
Simple yet elegant looking.
I scored a simple frame around the edges to define the area with my ScorPal and mounted it onto a white card base.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

This is so elegant and love the way you achieved that look Karen and such a pretty colour too, and the scoring really finishes it beautifully. x
Lovely, lovely card Karen!! LOVE the blue and green color combo and the thistle shows through just beautifully! Love the simple scoring around the image too...really spotlights your lovely water colored image!! :0)
The scoring around the soft stamped image to create a frame works really well.
Thanks for sharing at ATSM. :)
A very beautiful CAS-card!!!
Such a wonderful CAS card! Lovely colours, simple image, all that white space, and great detailing with the scored square.
Something you love to do … and totally nail every time! Karen, this is spectacular!

The colors 'washed' beautifully, Karen, and the scoring adds great detail while keeping the card CAS. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Addicted to Stamps and More and Addicted to CAS.
Gorgeous CAS design, Karen! Thanks for sharing your technique with us...I'm going to try it :) Thank you so much for playing along with us at Addicted to CAS!
I love the way the leaf shows in this watery background and the scoring that frames it! CAS perfection!

So effective! An absolutely gorgeous inky card and perfectly CAS too. xxx
Beautifully CAS and so elegant .... love it! Thank you for playing along with the Craft Stamper challenge xx
I don't know how you do it ... if I smooshed, I would have ink all over the place, and not necessary in the center block! You are so good at this. I love the way the image turned out. And sweet CAS design with your watercolouring and scored outline. xx
Artsy and unique ....love the water colour effect and CAS perfection x
I really need to practice this technique - you mix your colors so well. The colors are absolutely lovely and so perfect for this soft stamp.
