I  made 2 cards to share today, this first one uses the One Layer Option and for this I used a Hero Arts Dauber Bunch Stamp Set Pastel Pink and Pastel Yellow Ink Daubers 




A very quick and easy card and perfect to make in a batch, tie with a pretty ribbon and make into a little gift :-) I am going to make my Mum a pile of these, with differing sentiments as she was hinting a few days ago that she needs some ;-)




I stamped the background and clear embossed onto watercolour paper, I then used Simon's exclusive  inks, then ironed off the embossing to leave the white design before spraying and splattering with Dylusions White Ink.
I then die cut the spring branch out of the background and replaced with a plain white die cut one :-) I also die cut the 'thanks' out of the coloured card and replaced with a white one too. I popped some black card behind the sentiment to add definition. 

So now it's YOUR turn ! Happy Crafting !!

Both cards are beautiful in their simplicity. The colours are lovele and the white provides wonderful contrast. The raindrop pattern is very cute. Might be a "must-have"...lol. Thanks for playing along with our Pretty Pastels challenge at Craft Your Passion this week. I hope we see you again soon.
