thank you


I stamped the “Thank You” sentiment and my flowers in black and used Altenew Artist Markers to colour them in. To finish it off I added some green splashes.

thank you


To create my second card I used another beautiful set called Ditsy Print. This set features a ditsy print floral bouquet outline with layers and I used them to create a floral frame for the bold sentiment.

hello


I went for a pink and green colour combo and I love how quick and easy this card came together.

hello


On my last card, I again used the Ditsy Print set. I wanted to mimic a floral fabric print that you'd find in cottage-style homes. I stamped the outline images to create a background and used Altenew Artist Markers to colour them in.

To finish it off, I used Mega Alphabet Die and stamped my sentiment on it.

Today I've created CAS one-layered cards to share with you. All of them are very quick and easy to create.

For my first card, I stamped images from a gorgeous Botanical You Stamp Set, and decided to go for a bright, pink and green colour combo.

just for you


I used Forest Glades and Evergreen inks to stamp the first two layers and Pink Diamond and Pinkalicious for the next two layers. To finish the card I stamped “just for” to complete my sentiment and added some green splatters for more interest. I love this set, so great to create quick but beautiful cards!

For my second card I used another beautiful floral stamps from set called Bride To Be. I again chose to use the pink and green colour combination. I used here Blush and Pink Diamond ink pads for flowers and a few different shades of green: Moss, Forest Glades and Evergreen.

love you


For my sentiment I used a tiny “I love you” stamp that comes from Rustic Linen stamp set.

love you


The Rustic Linen is a set I used for my last card. It’s a great background stamp and I decided to use it to create a monochrome card. I stamped it with Starlight ink and added beautiful images from the gorgeous Floral Elements Stamp Set (I inked them with two shades of blue: Dusk and Starlight).
