Good Morning
Today, I have the pleasure of being the GD on the blog over at the Craft Stamper Magazine.
It is a real honor to be chosen and I have another one of my cards being published in an upcoming issue of the magazine.
Here is the card I created for the blog post this month.
I began with a piece of Yupo paper and inked it up with different shades of Ranger Alcohol inks.
I used some blending solution to help move the inks around and distribute the colour.
I set that aside until totally dry which goes quickly.
Next, I positioned this wonderful Fern stamp inside my Misti then inked it up with some Ranger Alcohol Lifting Ink and stamped over my AI inked piece. I repeated this process to get a good impression of my stamp. When the piece was totally dry, I took a paper towel and rubbed to lift off the ink in the stamped areas.
Love how this card just screams 'Spring'
I die-cut the sentiment 3 times and glued them together, then glued them onto my card front.
I simply mounted that onto a plain, white card base.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Great card and super idea for such an interesting background! Funny though...you see "spring" and my first thought was "forest" since ferns grow in the shade of trees!
Congratulations on your guest design gig. And, that card you are showing is absolutely gorgeous. I love those wonderful shades of green and the pretty foliage.
I am so thrilled for you … have you been a guest there before? This means so many more will see your lovely cards, Karen! Congratulations! another beauty!

Congratulations on your Guest Design spot, Karen! What a fabulous scene ... this lush green fern forest has so much depth and richness ... seems I could just push some of the ferns aside to see what's behind them! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Hugs, Anita :)
