This card comes together pretty easily with the help of of the Elegantly Said stamp set . The sentiment I pulled from Grassy Grove stamp set. I used the Stamparatus to stamp the flower image because I thought it would be easier to color the stamp with my markers to get the look I was after. I think the marker stamping technique is a quick and easy way to get a fun and different look for a stamped image, however, I prefer to stamp the image 2 or 3 more times to get a crisper image. Thus the Stamparatus. Once the flower image was stamped, I put a mask over it so I could stamp the scalloped border image without messing up the flower. A few markers, a black inkpad, the Stamparatus, wha-la we have a completed card! I also stamped the border image inside the card along the bottom edge…..because…..I had to.
