Hi there, I have a very quick and easy card to share this week as I was very short on time and a hunt through my stamps turned up the perfect image for a simple creation. It’s so delicately drawn it really speaks for itself so a cute sentiment is all you need to finish it off.

Ingredients:

Carabelle Studio A6 Stamp – Une Femme Parmi les Fleurs

Tim Holtz Cling Mounted Stamp Set – Crazy Talk

Archival Jet Black Ink

Spectrum Noir Colorista Pencils

White Card Blank

Recipe:

Stamp the main image directly on the card and colour with the pencils. If you haven’t tried the Colorista pencils, I can highly recommend them as if you use them on smooth card as I did, they go on very smoothly too. They’re also quite highly pigmented and I found you can layer colours up to make them stronger.

I coloured her dress by using a blunter pencil followed by a much sharper one, which gave a textile type appearance that I rather like.

I finished off my card by stamping the text in the top left corner (you may have noticed the slight shadow round this – a bit of serendipity here as I stamped it without my glasses – enough said!)

We have a new challenge today over at That’s Crafty! Challenge Blog with a really great theme so do go and check it out to see how you can win a great prize just for entering.
