Enduring Beauty Negative Colouring Simple Thank You Card. Stamping with Friends Blog Hop. January 2024

Good Evening Everyone,

Today I'm taking part in the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop and our theme is Jan-Apr Mini Catalogue/Sale-a-Bration - s basically any of our new goodies!

I'm using the Enduring Beauty stamp set for the millionth time because I absolutely LOVE it, but I've dialled my design way back and instead of colouring in all the image, I decided to colour the background or 'negative' space to add a dash of colour - keeping my card light and fresh, oh and super simple! The sentiment is from Filled with Happiness as I needed a Thank You card and I thought this font worked well.

-------------------------------------

Take the Basic Black card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, adding one of the Basic White pieces to the inside.

Ink up the large floral image from Enduring Beauty in memento ink and cover the remaining piece of Basic White with it.

Once the ink has dried, take your Dark Pool Party Stampin Blend and colour in all the background or 'negative' space, so anywhere that isn't a leaf or a flower!!

Adhere this to the card front.

Run a scrap of basic white through your Mini Cut & Emboss Machine with the stitched label die from Enduring Dies.

Ink up the Thanks sentiment from Filled with Happiness stamp set and stamp it into the centre of the label. Add some Pool Party ink around the edges of the label with a blending brush.

Add this to the lower right hand side of the card front, finishing it off with a few rhinestones.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today, please take a minute or two to go through the list below and get lots of wonderful inspiration from these very talented ladies
