Oh Hello

 

Want a fast easy technique when you need a card quickly? Shelli demonstrated this method at Leadership 2013. You can keep it simple or step it up a little bit as I did in the above presentation. The stamps are from the new set Oh Hello in the Spring catalog. I used Wisteria Wonder and Stazon Black for inks.

 

On your Whisper White cardstock, turn your ink pad face down. Yup, face down - but gently. Then slightly press down around the edges making sure that you don't press so hard that you move the pad around the page.  When you lift it, you will have the nice coloring around the edges.

Then go ahead and stamp your sentiment and flower in the black ink.  Poof! You have a very quick and easy card that looks beautiful.

 Here is a sample of the basic card.   

  

 

If you have the time, then you can add a couple layers - here I added Basic Black and Wisteria Wonder cardstock.

 

 

The final version is similar to the last one. I did a background stamp on the Wisteria Wonder using the Flowering Flourishes stamp set. I lengthened the piece of Basic Black cardstock and added a bit of Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon.

 

 

I hope that you enjoyed this card - no go play and see how easy it is!
