You're Amazing

Hi bloggers!  I just love this card for a clean and simple, let the die do all the work sort of card.  The video shows just how easy it is to use the dies without the cutting edges to create a beautiful card.  This card too was shown during the release week blog hop so I have included another card for you today as well.

 Finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 3/4" in size.

Today's second card is a clean and simple quickie card.  Using the Daisy from the Taylored Expressions Oops A daisy stamp set, I inked it by colouring directly on to the rubber with Tim Holtz distress markers.  I used Salty Ocean and Dusty Concord for the petals and Mustard Seed for the centres.  I inked it with the markers, then spritzed it lightly with water and stamped it.  I stamped it several more times with only a spritz of water in between to achieve the generational stamping look.  I repeated the steps twice to cover a wide strip for my card.  I just love the watercoloured look you get this way.  I stamped my sentiment (from the Creative Expressions Bold sentiment set) in black Archival after drying the piece with a heat tool.  I matted it with a thin black mat and added it to a plain white card background.  If all that open white makes you a bit uncomfortable, just emboss it for a bit of detail!  I finished the card with a double white pierced mat for a real time saver sort of card.  Any sentiment could work here as well!  Finished dimensions are  7 1/2" x 8 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
