So Many Thanks

Really simple card today, with a couple of may favourite techniques.

I made a stack of these cards for my customers to pop in with their orders, which are are on their way to me as we speak!

I used all 5 2010-2012 In Colours for these little 3"x3" thank you cards, Blushing Bride for the background and Concorde Crush, Pear Pizzaz, Peach parfait & Poppy Parade for the stamped image.

You can get the same affect with Stampin' Write markers and colouring the different sections in, which if you only have one card to do is great, but when you have a few then the Baby Wipe technique is the way to go.

You start with your re-inkers for the colours you want to stamp in, your stamp and ink pad and a baby wipe.

I like to put my baby wipe on my largest clear mount block, or in the lid of a plastic tray.

You start by stamping your imageon the baby wipe in the lightest colour you are using , I've used the single "So Many Thanks" stamp and stamped it in Blushing Bride, but you can hardly see it.

You then colour the sections in with your chosen re-inkers, it looks really messy but makes your own custom ink pad. You can also use felt for this.

You'll get around 10 -15 stamped images from one application of ink on the baby wipe. All you need to do now is use the baby wipe as an ink pad, ink up your stamp and stamp on your card (I made 3"x3" card blanks with Whisper White card).  Don't do what I did and get distracted by Bejewlled Blitz and leave the ink to dry on the baby wipe!

To make the background on the card I inked up a clear stamping block in Blushing Bride then, with my card on a foam pad stamped the block on to the card. Don't try to do this without a foam pad or a wad of paper underneath unless you only want the out line of the block.

Once I had my Blushing Bride background I inked up my stamp and added the image to the centre using a Stamp-a-ma-Jig stamp positioner to line it up.

Wee that's all for today, thanks for stopping by.

Happy Crafting!
