I love this stamp set (The Nicest Things). For some reason, it reminds me of my six year old granddaughters, even though they look nothing like the girls in the image. They just look so sweet. The main image is stamped with Basic Black classic ink on Whisper White cardstock and watercolored with Brights Water Color Wonder crayons and an Aquapainter. The little redheads hair was a happy accident, she was going to be a Daffodil Delight blonde like her cousin, but the Aquapainter got a little too close to her Melon Mambo hair bow, I liked the result so I finished her hair that way. The skin tone is also a mix of colors, in this case Regal Rose and and Pumpkin Pie scribbled together on the lid of the crayon box and then used very lightly.
The background is the long flower stamp from the set with Pacific Point ink on Pacific Point cardstock, stamped repeatedly on the diagonal. No accessories on this card as it didn't seem to need it to me.
Detailed ingredients: Cardstock: Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point. Stamps: The Nicest Things. Ink: Whisper White. Other: Brights Water Color Wonder Crayons, Aquapainter and the Scallop Edge Border punch.
Next up for me will be a smaller image stamp set, as I don't like using the same basic layout all the time. What simple cards have you been thinking of lately?
