I made a mask by cutting a square out of a post it note with my 1 3/8" square punch and sponged Daffodil Delight ink into it with a sponge dauber. With the mask still in place, I inked up part of an image from my Apothecary Art stamp set with a Basic Black marker and stamped it over the top several times using my stamp-a-majig for position.
There's an optional additional challenge at Dynamic Duos to add dry embossing so I added a double scored frame using my Simply Scored. Hmm - technically I suppose this is debossing... hope it still counts! I tried several sentiments out using my stamp-a-majig to see how they looked but decided to leave them off, finishing the card with some rhinestones instead.
Here's what you'll need to make today's card:
Stamps: Apothecary Art
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Basic Black
Card stock: Whisper White
Other: Simply Scored, 1 3/8" square punch, sponge dauber, Basic Rhinestones, stamp-a-majig

The most exciting thing happened yesterday - I became too hot! Yes, summer has arrived in Buckingham. I definitely need sunglasses, not to protect me from the glare of the sun but to enable me to look at my luminous white legs!
I hope the sun is shining on you today wherever you are.
Hugs,

Perfection Vicky...I just love this sweet little card! Thanks for playing along with us at Dynamic Duos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Vicky! Don't fret about your legs showing in the sunshine - knowing the UK weather we'll be putting on winter woollies again in a few days. Mind you this sunshine doesn't make me feel so guilty about the Mount Everest of ironing that needs to be done - I don't think anyone would argue that it is far, far, far too warm to be standing with a hot iron. Well that's my argument anyway, and I'm sticking to it!
