As I said on Monday, I think a lot of the beautiful cards out there are very technique heavy. And I’m just not a technique girl. Doesn’t mean I don’t know how to do stuff, just that I don’t enjoy it. I’m not very artistic (I can’t color in the lines, really), so I rely much more on the use of my tools. I’m not a big stamper either, mostly because a lot of stamps need colored. (Refer to previous sentence as to why I don’t color LOL). But I did do some stamping techniques on a card that I just loved. I’m a little bit different than most people in that my favorite inks are the chalk inks. I love the opacity that they have. I used that characteristic on this card and I love the results.
I used this card for Mother’s Day and as I remember every time I stamp, I have no sentiment stamps! I really MUST purchase some sentiments. Thus, I went with no sentiment. But hey, it just goes to the simplicity side then.
Supplies: My Minds Eye stamps (lace is Lost & Found 2 (or Stella & Rose – can’t remember), cluster stamp is Follow Your Heart), CTMH chocolate ink, Studio G ink, Paper Trey Ink dies, My Minds Eye brad
