A fast, clean and simple note card for whatever reason... using scraps off the corner of my desk (where I shove all the left overs)! The striped background is on CS that is smaller than an A2 size - but is perfect for a regular letter envelope. The oval tag was stamped on a background made with Distress Ink refills dropped on a craft sheet. Placing a scrap in the ink and moving it around a bit allows for some beautiful and colorful backgrounds. "Just Saying Hello" is a separate stamp. Finishing touches include Duo Glue & foil in the leaves of the flourish, a ribbon on the tag & distressing the edges of the card with some of the left over ink on the craft sheet. Ever so frugal, eh?
IMAGES: The background is "Large Canvas Stripes" by Hero Arts; the oval "Journaling Tag" by Stampology; the sentiment is "Saying Hello" by Hero Arts.
PAPER: CS is from my endless stash.
INKS: Ranger / Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint & Tumbled Glass. Images are stamped with Versamark black ink.
Love your card!! The ink technique that you used is gorgeous and I love how you combined the stamped images. Lovely use of your scraps!!
