Today we play with one of the great new In Colours, Parakeet Party. It is a bright and happy colour and makes any card cheery and special.

Keep It Simple

This card is simply stamps, ink and paper, yet it is a striking hand made card that will be sure to let the recipient know how thankful you are.
I used the Artfully Layered stamp set to stamp large leaves and create an interesting background for my simple message. I used Parakeet Party cardstock, and stamped with Parakeet Party ink for a great tone on tone look. My sentiment is also stamped with Parakeet Party ink and I snipped the ends to create a banner end. It is attached to the card base with Dimensionals to give it a little extra pop.

I used the Grassy Grove stamp set for this card. It has more stamping than the first card, but is still easy to create. I used Parakeet Party and Soft Suede ink to create my scene. My sentiment is stamped in Parakeet Party ink, then I dragged the edges across my Soft Suede ink pad to give the edges more definition since it was white on white. You can learn how to do this in the video (at the 19:30 mark), and see how I fixed my mistake!
