Do you ever find yourself adding "stuff" to your cards just because you have it and want to use it? Every so often I will make a card that is ultra-simplistic yet very powerful because of the simplicity. Here's one that I think fits the bill.
I used my Prismacolor & Copic markers to color in the birds and a Versafine onyx black ink pad to achieve the crisp look with my stamps. All stamps by A Muse (of course!)
(The lighting in our shop is bad for photos - sorry!)
There are still a few spots in our Hey, girlfriend class tonight at the shop from 6-8. If you would like to join the fun, please call us at 206-783-4882. Must run to finish prepping for my class.
Hi Linda - I was mystified at first when I received your A Muse newsletter - and then I checked out your blog and realized Oh! It's that cute Greenwood store! I stopped in a few weeks ago with my husband and you were so kind and helpful, thank you. I really enjoyed meeting you and checking out your store. I will definitely be heading down there soon.
Your daughter is adorable - and so funny (can't we go to a bar?)!
Thanks for the newsletter - keep 'em coming!

P.S. I'll put a link to your store site on my blog.

Lovely! I have been playing with that stamp as well, and after several failed attempts at lining it up across the width of the card, I settled on the single, simple stamp. I had not thought to vary the color of the birds - the result is very nice!
