Thank You Sunshine
Do you have some stamps, ink and paper? If so, it is easy to create pretty cards to share. Sure there are lots of beautiful things you can add to your stamping collection. Stunning Designer Series Paper, ribbon, gems and other embellishments, fancy die cuts, embossing and so much more, but if you are new to stamping, you really don’t need a lot to get started.
Not long after Covid-19 changed our world, Sara Douglass started #sharesunshine. It reminded us all to send bring sunny cards and wishes to everyone we knew as we all adapted to the our new way of life.
My card today is a thank you for that sunshine, and the beautiful sunny days we have been enjoying this summer.
This is #simple stamping, and is super quick and easy to do. All you need is stamps, ink and paper. I used Daffodil Delight because it is such a bright sunny colour. I stamped a large and small butterfly from the Butterfly Gala stamp set all over a piece of 5 1/4 x 4 inch card stock. My sentiment is from the same set. If you look at the Butterfly Gala stamp set, you will notice the large butterfly stamp has a smaller version of the same butterfly right above it, all attached in the same stamp. There is a coordinating punch for this stamp set, and it punches both butterflies at the same time, quick and easy. For this card I was just stamping, no punching, and I didn’t want both butterflies.
I mounted my stamp right at the top of the block, so it was easy to ink only the large butterfly for my stamping. After randomly stamping the large butterfly, I filled in some spaces with a small solid butterfly. I mounted this on a Daffodil Delight card base using Dimensionals. My sentiment is also adhered with Dimensionals.
Quick and easy, but such a bright and pretty card.
Leave a comment and let me know if you were only going to use one colour for your card, what would it be. Tell me and I will make a card in that colour!
