Hello and welcome to my blog; today I have another Simple Stamping Card for you. Today's card is a simple one layer card. I used the Free As A Bird Stamp Set from the 2019 Annual Catalog, along with some a little simple coloring. Simple stamping is all about going back to the basics for people that may not have a lot of experience stamping or that are just learning. Here's a look at today's Simple Stamping Card.
I started out by taking a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of Thick Whisper White Cardstock and stamping the image of the very cute little birds on the branch in Soft Suede Ink and colored them very loosely with a few stampin' blends. I used the following colors (all the dark blends) no blending for some very simple coloring; Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, and Petal Pink. I colored in the branch with the Soft Suede Dark Blend, and the leaves with Mossy Meadow. The flowers were done with Calypso Coral.
I then stamped the smaller branch from the set with Mossy Meadow Ink at the top along with the small bloom. I added a few of the small flower image from the stamp set to fill in some areas and add a little extra color to the card with Calypso Coral Classic Ink. I then added just a little more color to the leaves at the top with my Mossy Meadow blends. Just roughly coloring them in and not adding a ton of color to not over saturate the cardstock.
To finish off my simple card I added the sentiment in Mossy Meadow above the branch with the birds perched on it on the left-hand side. Simple stamping cards would be great to create a bunch right now during the Covid-19 pandemic to give to people that are out working. They would be great to send to send to first responders, your mail person, people working at the grocery store or someone you may encounter or know that may need a little pick me up.
Happy Stampin'
