Thoughts & Prayers Card


I finally got the "Thoughts and Prayers" stamp set I've been eyeing for months! Tonight I created my first card with it.

Step 1. Decide where the "moon" is going to go, then cut out a 1 3/8 circle out of scrap paper and adhere it to the background (Very Vanilla) cardstock with Dotto Adhesive.

Step 2. Use your brayer to roughly cover the background with More Mustard Ink. Remove the scrap circle.

Step 3. Ink the edges with close to cocoa using a sponge

Step 4. Stamp the Tree and Text using Chocolate Chip Ink

Step 5. Mount on background!

I make this quick card using the Ink, Spray & Mash technique and the new Happy Moments Sale- A- Bration stamp set.


Ink, Spray and Mash Background:

Drop a few drops of different colored inks onto glossy cardstock. Spray with fine water mist and mash it together with another equal size piece of glossy cardstock. Pull apart & let dry!
