I took some time and went through all my stamps (I have them stamped into notebooks for easy reference, I explain it all in THIS post) and finally decided to use the Stampin' Up set, You're Delightful to begin the card. I have ideas for future cards too!
Before I started stamping and putting the card together I picked out the papers and decided how exactly I wanted to do this. Ink under the sentiment? maybe watercolor? maybe just colored words and another image? hmmm.....
I decided to go with the SU designer series paper, Garden Impressions. I also decided to use the SU background stamp, Watercolor Wash with SU Pool Party ink to put under the sentiment. I think this is the first time I've used the Watercolor Wash background stamp. I found using a little foam brayer was useful in getting it inked up.
I stamped the "You're delightful" in SU Pacific Point and the "P.S. Happy Birthday" in SU Shaded Spruce. I have to say that I think one of the best purchases I've ever gotten is the MISTI and Mini MISTI stamping tool. It really has been a game changer in the way I stamp and to get a good image!!
I decided it need just a little something more so I stamped the speech bubbles that come with the set in SU Shaded Spruce.
I like how it turned out and like I said earlier, this is a sketch I plan to revisit!! So many possibilities!!
Have the best day ever!
