Clean and simple card making for Visible Image

Good morning it's time for my fortnightly blogged design team make for Visible Image. For this make I wanted to use one of their oldie but real goodie stamp sets called Beautiful soul 

teamed with a sentiment from the Look forward with hope set

I thought I would finally blog a technique I have used for many of my clean and simple (CAS) Dotty's Tearooms cards for many years and I have also demonstrated at shows. Again another oldie but goodie technique which is to use an acrylic stamping block to monoprint with distress inks. Simply swipe a few colours onto the block, add a light spritz of water and then print and dry.

For this card I used 2 distress ink colours; vintage photo and stormy sky. I cut a piece of white 5 1/4" smooth square card and monoprinted using the block into the top half.

Once dry I stamped the Beautiful soul  image in Nocturne Versafine Clair and clear embossed and did the same with the sentiment from  So much stronger below.

I added silver sequins to her hair

and then matted onto black card and a white 5 3/4" square card blank. 

Here is my finished card

with a close up 

and one final shot.

 I also organize a monthly artist trading card swap in the group.  We celebrated a whole year of swapping in May. Whether you are a new stamper or a seasoned one you are most welcome to join us. Over 110 members, worldwide, have taken part since it started. It's been such fun and it's so lovely to receive a unique piece of art from your partner in the post.
