Just popping in to share a quick card with you guys. I used one of my all time favorite technique on this one - generational stamping. This card used one stamp set and one inkpad. Love that!
For this technique, the darker the ink, the better. I used CTMH's Smokey Plum, and stamped the background in three generations (although the last one is really hard to see) on a diagonal.
Once this was done, I stamped the sentiment. It seemed a little light to me, so I over-stamped it (stamped directly over it again) to get a really dark color.
I debated adding some dots or bling, or something, but decided I liked the simpler look, plus it'll be easier to mail.
Hope your week is off to a great start! I am so excited today as I'll be hanging out with some of my Gallery Idol Girls tonight and tomorrow! SO.MUCH.FUN!
Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock: CTMH - White Daisy and Smokey Plum Cardstock
Stamps: Avery Elle - Modern Leaves
