Beauty

Ever have one of those days when one job turns into 100? Well I have had one of those days today, but Hey Ho, here I am. As they say always better late than never. Today I am going to share this little card with you. It's a very simple card,with just a little masking and a real joy to sit, relax and colour. It would make a wonderful 'Just Because' card, or as a boxed set of notelets,either as a gift or for a fundraiser.

You will Need:
Craftascope 'Bloom & Grow' Stamps Set
Versafine Clair Black Ink Pad
Amsterdam Acrylics
5 x 5'' Card Blank made with Stamping Card
Copier Paper Mask
Temporary Adhesive Spray


Step 1: Stamp your design directly on to your card blank. You will need to use your mask to build up your design, but only one for this.

Step 2: Use a selection of Amsterdam Acrylics to colour your design and that's your card finished. The fun in this really is sitting for a while doing some relaxing colouring.

It's a really nice card to make and works with any of the other blooms in the stamp collection. As I mentioned before it would make a beautiful set of notelets in a  matching box, either all the same design or a selection.

You can also use any colour mediums that you choose, using the appropriate ink pad. Lately I have been using the Amsterdam Acrylics quite a lot as I love the finish they give along with the different effect.

It really has been great that I actually got time to share this with you today, I really don't know where the day has gone, but here it's very close to tea time already. Happy May day to you all. I look forward to seeing you all soon, but for now Take care and Happy Crafting.xx
