The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak. -Hans Hofmann
I have two styles of card making...I love layers, I color an image, layer it....layer it again, add it to a card with 3-4 layers on it, slap on some embellishments...and then some more, but some days I just like to pull out a Really nice Italian Hand Deckled Fabriano card and stamp a simple image and sentiment.
That's what I did here, just a simple wreath image from my Snowy Woods Plate by Artistic Outpost and a sentiment stamped with my Christmas Small Preinked Stamper. I colored the image by "Thumping" it with a Garden Green and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers and then coloring the bow with Ruby Red reinker and a waterbrush.
Supplies:Stamps: Snowy Woods Plate (Artistic Outpost,) Christmas Small Preinked Stamper (JustRite)
Paper: Medioevalis Folded Reply Card (Fabriano)
Ink: Garden Green, Old Olive, Ruby Red (SU)
Misc: Niji Waterbrush
