A Simple Card

I decided that I wanted to do some simple stamping with the new Savvy Stamps. So I got the pretty 3 stem outline flower as a basis for my design.I had some Twinkling H2O's to add some colour and some Stazon to stamp the image.

I started by stamping the image in stone grey Stazon. I don't like the image to be too dark and black is just too harsh. I then coloured the flowers red and tinted the leaves green. I smeared a little green and red on the base of the flower to ground it. I mounted the image onto a red which closely resembled the red of the flower and stuck it to the base card. I had previously stuck some 7mm green gingham to the base card. I used double sided tape as it is the easiest way to keep ribbon on the card.

Then I added a saying to the bottom of the card. I stamped this with the tiny saying 'it's the little things that matter most'.

I finished off with a green gingham bow to match the ribbon.

I can't wait to make the next card and if I was not so busy with the preparation for the next show at Malvern I would be making far more cards.
