Simple Saturday

Inspiration for today’s card came from this card on the waltzingmouse makes … blog. Of course, in order to make the card, I needed the stamps, too, resulting in my first order from Waltzingmouse Stamps and an overseas company. A successful transaction it was. Yes, I waited a little longer than usual for my order but think the lovely designs made into quality stamps were worth it. It was the sentiments with the Blessed by You set that really “got” me.

About my card, I used a Kaleidacolor ink pad. Neither do I use my Kaleidacolor pads very often nor do I see others using them currently but expect that, like everything else, they will make their way back into vogue one day. What surprises me is that on the rare occasions I do reach for one, I don’t find a dried up ink pad. Obviously, they last for years. I like that. Back to the card, you’ll note it doesn’t include a single embellishment. I just inked around the edges of the card base and sentiment with Goldrush ink using a sponge dauber and attached my sentiment and cutout leaf with foam mounting tape. Simple … for Saturday!

Materials & Tools: Colonial White cardstock; Kaleidacolor Creole Spice and Goldrush stamp pads; Waltzingmouse Blessed by You stamp set; Sponge dauber; 3M foam mounting tape.

We’re celebrating Cameron’s birthday today with him, Sarah, and the boys. I’m hoping to stamp this evening. Have a good weekend, friends, and thanks for stopping by! Later…
