I just made this card. 

It’s inspired by a card that was displayed at a Stampin’ Up! convention so I don’t know who the originator was.  I’ve used different stamps and layering from the original.

I think it’s simple and fresh looking, just something to brighten up someone’s day.

The technique used here is “Poppin’ Pastels” which is where you stamp with Versamark ink and then colour over the Versamark using chalks.  It’s a very simple technique but I still find myself going back to it time and time again as it can give you a different look each time depending on the stamps and colours you use.  It can be vintage or elegant or fun and also great for doing backgrounds.

The materials I’ve used here are all from Stampin’ Up! and are available for purchase through me.
