Greetings!
Simplicity is the name of the game for today's card.
I love when a card comes together with just a couple colors of ink and cardstock!
How big and beautiful is this swan?! The swan is stamped in Smoky Slate ink and then completely colored in with the Wink of Stella ® Clear Glitter Brush, giving it lots of sparkle!
Sparkly!
The roses were inked using Mossy Meadow and Real Red from the Many Marvelous Markers. By using the Wink of Stella® immediately after stamping the image, the brush grabs some of the ink from the outline to softly fill in the leaves and flowers.
Adding layers of cardstock in complimentary colors really helps to frame the image and give it a wonderful pop of color. The ribbon from the Playful Pets trim combo pack is the perfect accessory.
The Prince & Princess HOST stamp set (FREE with $150 order) features wonderful images for any age and gender. Grab your stamps, add some ribbon, a little sparkle, a handwritten note, and it's ready to be mailed.😊

- When using markers to color your stamps, do a couple quick breaths over the stamp to uniformly moisten the ink before stamping. If any outlined image isn't a solid line, simply use the writing tip of the marker to fill in.
- Attach a mini glue dot to the underside of the bow and press onto card to keep in place.
- *When using a darker-colored card base, insert a piece of white or vanilla inside so your handwritten note is easy to see.
- The Many Marvelous Markers are a great investment! This is a great way to have all 40 core colors in a convenient carrying case. The markers have both a brush and writing tip.
- Paper Snips have a very sharp blade making them the perfect tool for cutting ribbon as well as cardstock and paper.
