 I created a simple card for the make-n-take for my All-Day Crop this month.

One of my new favorite techniques is applying two ink colors to a stamp and THEN stamping it on your paper.  And that’s what I did here.  I inked the entire tree with Desert Sand and then just sponged daubed the leaves with Olive Ink.

I stamped the tree again in Goldrush Ink and just cut out the hearts to apply on top with 3-D Foam Tape. 

I finished the card off by matting my stamped image with a piece from the Pathfinding paper collection (X7186B) and just a few of the Durables Triangles (Z1928) to embellish.

Now it is time to hop over to Morgan Vogt’s Blog to see what she has created!

Thanks for stopping by.
