Today, I have a super simple 5-minute card to share with you using the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set. Initially, I was a bit hesitant when I purchased this set as it is part of a bundle. I really fell in love with the dies, but I was unsure if I could create simple cards with the stamps. I’m happy to report that I’ve fallen in love with the Spotlight on Nature stamp set as well!
For today’s card, I chose to experiment with my ink selections. I wanted to color in the flowers but keep the basics of the flower soft, simple, and complimentary to the color combination of cardstocks I selected. So, I stamped it in Misty Moonlight ink. That presented a bit of a dilemma because I also wanted to use Stampin’ Blends to color in the flowers, which typically isn’t recommended with an alcohol marker. I decided to go for it anyway, and guess what? It worked like a charm!
Experimenting with your crafting can lead to great ideas. Despite using a non-traditional combo of inks, my flowers stayed the Petal Pink that I wanted them to be. To soften the card up even more, I added a bit of Boho Blue Jute Trim and a couple of the Ombre Matte Decorative Dots.
I can’t wait to share with you tomorrow how I’ve transformed this card on Takin’ It Up Tuesday!
