Greetings!
One of the many benefits of Stampin' Up! products is the wonderful styles of stamps. Today's card features a DISTINKTIVE ™ Stamp, which is designed so it creates different opacities in a single stamped image.
This sweet Hello card using the Forever Fern stamp set is simple and yet suggests a variety of texture.
Simple and Fresh
How beautiful are those botanical elements! It's easy to feel artistically talented when stamps like this provide all the shading. My inspiration for the colors came from the beautiful lilacs blooming in my yard right now.
The black and white prints from the True Love Designer Series Papers really help the purples and greens to pop! The striped twine from the Playful Pets trim combo pack continues the black and white accent, and a little Ladybug trinket sitting on a leaf is the perfect finishing touch.
Decorating the inside of the card takes just a moment and this stamp set has a sweet sentiment to brighten anybody's day.
An inside as pretty as the outside!
I recommend adding a layer of white or vanilla on a colored card base so your message is easy to read. An image up in the corner carries through what's on the card front and adding a strip of the Designer Series Paper onto the coordinating cardstock all help to frame the sentiment while still leaving room for a handwritten note.
