The more I use Stampin' Blends, the happier they make me feel! Practise is the key, you learn to leave the white spaces, mix non-matching colours and just get a smoother result. These cards use a simple method of stamping with a new stamp set, Free As A Bird. There are some delightful bird images and very sweet sentiments in this stamp, as well as these blossoms and leaf sprig.
Both flower stamps were placed on a block to ink and stamp at the same time. By rotating the block slightly, it gives a variation to the placement. Light & Dark Flirty Flamingo and Dark Daffodil Delight were my choice to colour the flowers, but the leaves were stamped with soon-to-retire Lemon-Lime Twist. Make sure you have any of the products you need from the retiring In colors, because there soon won't be any left.
Nothing is particularly complicated about this card, even where I stamped a little lighter, I've gone ahead and coloured the flower without getting too concerned. Without many supplies, it means that you don't have to outlay a lot to make some lovely handmade cards.
A stepped-up version of this card uses a little colour for the card base and another layer behind the stamped piece. A different sentiment from Free As A Bird and a scattering of sequins takes it up a notch.
Here you have a side-by-side comparison of the simple card alongside the stepped-up version.
