To lift it just a bit more visually, I have added random pearls around the image and rounded the opposite corners of the base card to soften the edges.
A clean and simple card which can be created in under ten minutes! Gotta like that.

CAS - CONFETTI CARD
Taking another look at the "You Are Loved" stamp set today, from the Summer Mini Catalgoue. This time as a Thinking of You/Sympathy type card. I have gone with clean and simple with this image, by using a method called "thumping". I have inked my flower image with markers, starting with the lightest colours first, so I don't contaminate them with a dark colour. I have then "thumped" (gently) a darker marker over portions of the image, to give it a more dimensional look. "Huff" on the stamp to remoisten the ink, then stamp as normal. How easy!
I have used Confetti White as my base card. It suits the image I have used perfectly, with all the little bits of petals inlaid in the card stock.
To lift it just a bit more visually, I have added random pearls around the image and rounded the opposite corners of the base card to soften the edges.
