Simply Said...

Well my starter kit arrived from Stampin' Up! this week and I have been having a play with all my lovely new stamps.

This was one of the first cards I made.




The base is made using Bashful Blue cardstock from the Soft Subtles range.
I then stamped the background design using two different flower stamps from the Simply Said set using Tempting Turquoise ink.

I then stamped a band of Certainly Celery cardstock with a small flower stamp from the Simply Said set using Certainly Celery ink.

I stamped two hearts using Certainly Celery ink on Whisper White cardstock (it is so, so smooth - absolutely perfect for stamping on) and cut round them, then stamped the sentiment using Tempting Turquoise ink. I used my blender pen and Stampin' Pastels to draw the line round the sentiment.

Finally I used my Tempting Turquoise inkpad to dye my white grosgrain ribbon to match my card.
