LOC Loving Bouquet

Simple cards often elude me but I was happy to be able to create this one using the Layers of Color Gifts of Love art stamp set, illustrated by the talented Nina Brackett.


The image has been stamped with Tsukineko Versafine Ink


and coloured with SU Chalks/Pastels and a Blender Pen - this is my favourite technique. it is so much fun and so quick and easy.


The sentiment has been stamped and cut with the Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three has been but using the Grand Calibur, it always cuts so crisply.  The Tag has been sponged with Rangers Scattered Straw Distress Ink before it is taken out of the Nestibilitie.


This card is for the following challenges:
Bird is the Word - Love
365 Cards - Strawberry Lemonade
Allsorts - You've been Framed
Designed 2 Delight - Anything Goes
Little Claire's - Wedding/Anniversary 
Stampin' B's - JFF - Distressing
Heart Song Inspirations - Shabby Chic style and/or use Pearls
Make it Monday - always Anything Goes

    Hi Linda - love your card, and the die cuts really 'make' this card. The sponging adds a beautiful addition to the whole.
