Clean and Simple- Grateful for Your Kindness

 Hi Friends!

As mentioned in my previous post, this week we are featuring Clean and Simple (CAS) cards in black and white on the Stamp Simply blog! 

This card was another easy one to create using several Stamp Simply stamp sets- Typewritten What You Mean To Me along with the Thank You for Caring Coneflower stamp set (plus the coordinating Coneflower die).  

I enjoy participating with online challenges and will be linking this card to the My Time to Craft #448 “Thank You” Challenge and the Through the Craft Room Door “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had time to check out the Stamp Simply blog or the other challenge sites yet, I hope you will do so- fabulous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Cut a piece of white cardstock to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”, adhere to a piece of black cardstock and adhere to the white card base.

Die cut a tag using the Tim Holtz Tag Collection Dies from black cardstock, de-static with an embossing powder tool , stamp the sentiment from Typewritten What You Mean To Me  using Versamark ink, apply white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, add the black gingham bow and mount to the card front using dimensional foam (or chipboard).

Stamp the floral image from Thank You for Caring Coneflower using Versafine Onyx Black  ink onto prepared white cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and   once cooled, watercolor with black and gray water-based markers.

Die cut the floral image with the coordinating coneflower die, mount onto the card front using dimensional foam or chipboard.

Add a few rhinestones below the sentiment to finish off the card.

Another quick and easy card!
