Inspired by Nature

Here are some pretty card samples to brighten your day. I decided to post two cards made using the Inspired by Nature set. This first card uses a really cool technique that you can do with almost any solid stamp image. Instead of inking, use markers to color in portions of your stamp. Here I've used 3 colors, Summer Sun, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip. I suggest you start with your lightest color and progress from there...once the stamp is colored the way you want, spritz it with water. I recommend that you hold the water bottle a couple of inches away from the stamp to get more mist on the stamp. Then, stamp your image onto card stock. You will get a fabulous watercolor effect! Trim & embellish how you want and then mount onto your card.

As always, play around to see how the amount of water used effects the image when stamped.

The second card is another made using Inspired by nature. This one is pretty straight forward. I used two colors to accentuate the grass. The colors on this card are chocolate chip and old olive. The sentiment is from Sincere Salutations.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you were inspired to go stamp!
