Hello my friends and Happy Tuesday to you!!
Well, card making doesn't get much easier than this! I spotted the challenge over at AAA Birthday Card Challenge and came up with this quick & easy card.
I've had this fabulous Clear Scraps 'Party' 6x6 stencil in my stash for quite awhile and every once and awhile I remember it's there!
I really should just take a few minutes and create some background panels in various colors for future use (I think I'll do that today ...otherwise will once again be forgotten lol).
Of course I chose shades of purple (my favorite) and also remembered I had these new Nuvo Diamonds Hybrid Ink Pads (Tropical Paradise) inks
and went to town having fun using one of my Picket Fence blending brushes with these pretty ink colors.
The only addition to my card is my sentiment. I chose a bold sentiment die by Elizabeth Craft (#1054). I die cut twice (1 black & 1 purple) then off set them to create a shadow effect.
VIOLA! Card is ready to sign & send!
I hope you have a great day today! We were to get some bad weather but it appears it may have gone north of us ... whew! But I had already planned on crafting today so I'll just keep going lol.
*** UPDATE ***
Three more stenciled, cut and ready to turn into cards! SEE I told you they were quick & easy! LOL
