Happy Sunday! Lynda Joy here, with a quick and easy card for today's inspiration.
While I have really enjoyed creating so many holiday cards these past few weeks, I'm ready to get back to some every day stamping.
Technique Junkies stamps:
Dogwood Blossom
Seeds of Today
I chose this lovely little dogwood stamp, and kept my card to two colors to keep it simple. I inked the stamp in my Misti, using distress minis. I added the lightest colors first, then gradually built up to the darker shading colors. I love the Misti for this technique.
I added some additional color to the flower with pastel pencils, and blended it out with a tortillion.
The verse was stamped with cocoa ink. I added some distressed edges with distress ink and a brush, then layered it onto a green panel, then onto the card.
That is it! Easy-peasy. I hope you are able to find some time to create today. It feels good to be back in my craft room after all of the holiday festivities.
