I was trying to do a colour challenge a while back which wanted a card made with watercolor wonder, cucumber crush and night of navy. Whilst trying to come up with my entry, I was playing with the new background stamp A World of Thanks. And although it didn’t fit the challenge guidelines, I rather liked how this card evolved.

I started out using my stampin’ write markers and colouring different words in various colours but it was just too much in your face and I decided to let the image itself just shine. I inked up the stamp (using my ink pad) using watercolour wonder and trying to avoid getting ink on the hearts. I then used a blender pen to clean up the edges of the hearts and coloured them in using the cucumber crush stampin’ write marker. After breathing heavily on the stamp to moisten the ink again, I stamped on very vanilla paper. I then mounted this on a base of watercolor wonder.

The envelope is lined using the new In Color collections which are available in family collections containing all colours in 4 designs – they replace the old Backgrounds DSP and I really love the new designs, this being one of my favourites.

See you tomorrow – and Happy Friday,
