Just a pop of color!


I like making cards that have just a little bit of color. Sometimes monochromatic with one "something" in a different color, sometimes the little bit of color is the third color. Here are two cards like that.


Card 1 - Stamp three (or four) of the same image. Adhere all the way across a horizontal card in the same color. Run a ribbon of a different color across bottom.


Card 2 - My stamp is a heart with the flourishes already attached, but you could just as easily make a similar design with an S-shaped flourish, or by stamping two of the same flourish. Stamp the flourish in black. Stamp the heart or another other image in a different color. If you are using the "heart with flourish" stamp, stamp once in black, another time in red (or pink, or ??). Cut out the heart, place on the flourish. Since I was using the same stamp, my red heart had to cover the black heart below it. It didn't do so all the way, so I outlined the heart in red. Problem solved!


The little bit of color in this card is the turquoise ink around the edge. For a different look, you could add more layers of cardstock and more ink for a different look.
