Tonight the Art With Heart team are sharing creative projects featuring Simple Stamping, which means our projects feature only paper, stamps and ink. It’s a great way to create a quick and easy card for new stampers or for when you need a card at short notice. These projects highlight how Stampin’ Up! ink, paper and card stock coordinates perfectly.
If you would like a copy of the 2019 - 2020 Annual Catalogue, contact any of the girls on the blog hop and we will get in touch with you.
Thanks for joining me! You may have arrived from Catherine Proctor's blog, or you may be starting here - it doesn't matter. Grab a cuppa and just keep hopping until you've got back to where you started.
When the topic of this blog hop was announced, I had just received the new stamp set, Born To Shine. It's a great line art/sentiment set that features a pair of ballerinas and some encouraging sentiments. My daughter, Ada, is a dancer and I thought this set would be great for little notes of support when she has performances.
To keep this card super simple, I used one of our note cards and envelopes. They come in a pack of 20, and are pre cut and scored for convenience. I stamped the twirling dancer in Memento ink so that I could blend my Watercolour Pencils with Wink Of Stella. Don't all dancers need a bit of glitz? LOL
Silly me coloured the section between her legs before I realised that it wasn't meant to be a part of her dress. Oops! Thankfully, a quick line from her right leg out to the side of the dress meant that I could cover up my mistake. Phew!
I stamped the dancer again on the inside in Melon Mambo, but stamped off once first. Ada's dance studio's colours are hot pink, black and silver, so Melon Mambo is the closest colour match for the pink.
I also stamped the envelope, this time without stamping off. It just fit! You can see the difference between the two images, where I fixed up my mistake on the card. I don't think it matters at all!
That's it from me, now you're off to visit the blog of the very arty Kathryn Ruddick.

What a beautiful card Tina - she looks like she is going to twirl off the page!
ReplyDeleteA Lovely card Tina, and yes every dancer needs a bit of glitz and good cover up of the colouring embellishment!
ReplyDeleteWow, I hadn't even noticed this stamp set in the catalogue, but it's great for the little dancers in our lives. I love how you stamped off the image for the inside!
ReplyDeleteI'd have never spotted the mistake if you hadn't pointed it out Tina. Great card, and even the uncoloured image is quite lovely.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Having boys, I hadn't really paid attention to that set, but I really like what you have done here.
ReplyDeleteYour dancer card is so beautiful and I love that you've used the Watercolour pencils with Wink of Stella. Yes every dancer needs some sparkle.
ReplyDeleteLovely!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would have noticed your mistake Tina, and love the idea of using Wink of Stella with the pencils. Such a lovely card.
