I partially CASEd the idea of this card from Susan Itell, on another stamp from the Seasonally Scattered set,  but she did it with sponge daubers, and I didn’t have any! I just used sponges.

It’s a very Clean and Simple (CAS) card – my favourite kind of card.

Base: Very vanilla

Mat: Wisteria Wonder

Top layer: very vanilla

Stamp set: Seasonally scattered

Inks: wisteria wonder, night of navy, silver

I inked up the image with wisteria wonder and then took sponges to dip into the silver ink and the night of navy (separate sponges so as to keep my ink pads clean) and applied them randomly to the stamp. Then I stamped onto the cardstock. Clearly this will give different results each time. Just be cautious and ensure that the stamp and sponges are not transferring other colours to the ink pads. I think it’s a very easy way of getting an effective image – and a unique one.

Once you’re done with this card, you may notice that the MERRY doesn’t look quite right. The first R looks as if you made a mistake.

There’s a bit too much white space so it looks as if there’s something missing. I just took a marker and added a few dots so that the R looked a bit more regular.
