Happy Tuesday!  I have a simple card today that features pretty embellishments by Prima and a Colorburst background!  I  realized the other day that I tend to use my Colorburst in a variety of ways, but rarely do I use them in the original way I was taught- with a stencil!  So I grabbed a few colors and a stencil with a bold, open design and set out to create some backgrounds.  One inking got me a variety of background (with multiple spritzes & flips) and this card features one of the flip designs.

My card is very simple- I really just wanted to showcase the background!  I also knew I had these Prima butterflies in my stash, and I’ve been mesmerized by the butterflies in our yard lately.  We have a butterfly bush that is almost done blooming, but they still love it!  The blossoms are purple, like the butterfly on my card.

I inked my edges and stamped my sentiment (love this set by Tim Holtz!) with Distress Ink.

I made more cards from this batch of backgrounds as well, which I’ll share with you next week!  Hope you have a creative one!

Inky hugs,

Tara

I know I’m not the only one who feels like August is flying by… and while I’m looking forward to cooler days and all the beauty of autumn, I’m not quite ready to let go of summer!  So today I have another card using almost the same products as last week’s card, but with a totally different feel.  This one embraces the colors of the sun, with a generous dose of Abandoned Coral Distress Ink (LOVE).

I used the same sand & sea Tim Holtz die, but added some fun crackle to the seahorse and tangerine paint to the sand dollar.  The sentiment is also from the same have faith stamp set that I used!  I created a background with a stencil and a splattering of Color Burst and a border with some washi tape.  I had a few strips of watercolor paper from trimming various projects and created a fun weave with them to anchor my background.  One of the wildflower dies transforms itself into sea weed on todays card 🙂

Sure makes me wish I was at the beach, or at least headed there!  I hope your summer included some beachy days, or some other fun adventure that let you relax and enjoy yourself!

Have a creative week!

Inky hugs,

Happy Tuesday!  I’ve got a quick & easy card for you today- a one layer lovely, which are very rare for me, but I saw a card that inspired it and it just didn’t seem to need anything else 🙂

love you one layer

All I’ve used for this card is a sentiment and the little flower bit stamps from the Avery Elle Oh Happy Day set I’ve been loving on lately, a selection of Distress Inks and a heart stencil (this one is by Dina Wakely).  It’s all stamped on an ivory card.  I used washi tape to adhere the stencil to my card front, then I started with the largest flower stamp and moved on from there to fill in the heart shape.  The rough texture you see here is a look you may be familiar with if you are using clear stamps without ‘priming’ them, but I kinda liked the look for this card.  (You’ll get a much crisper image if you ink your stamps in Archival black ink first, before stamping with water based ink.)

It’s a very simple card that you could really play around with a variety of color and stencil shapes as well 🙂

Hope you have a creative week!

Inky hugs,

Tara
