Good Friends are So Sweet



I love this Stampendous stamp.  It's such a sweet vintage image, and I thought it would mix perfectly with my Inktense pencils.

I added just a soft wash of yellow and then stamped it with Versafine, and lightly colored it in.  I wanted it to have that old timey feel, so I wasn't overly careful with my coloring and didn't make the colors that intense either.

The sentiment was pieced/masked together using PTI's Wonderful Words Additions set.

Just a sweet and happy card for a Tuesday.

Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock:  PTI - Kraft cardstock; Avery Elle - Cherry - Watercolor paper from Target
Stamps:  Stampendous - Kids on Wheels Cling Stamp; PTI - Wonderful Words Additions
Ink:  Versafine
Other:  Inktense Pencils; Tombow - Mono Adhesive

  5. Miriam, I love this. And that wash of color is perfect! It DOES remind me of the illustrations in old children's primers. There was always a wash like that. So sweet!

    BTW...You should link this to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Their theme this week is "Yellow."
