Nothing drives a point across like a clean and simple card. A bold sentiment and rainbow ink really help to get that feeling across! I made this card to send to my sister at her work. I'm hoping she will keep it on her desk so when things get crazy, she'll remember how awesome she is!
What I Used to Make my Card:
White Card Base
Kaleidacolor Ink Pad in Spectrum, #KA-000-001
Neat & Tangled Celebrate You stamps
Neat & Tangled Celebrate You dies
The first step in making this card was stamping the focal sentiment onto some white card. I used the rainbow ink pad. Let me just tell you a bit about the Kaleidacolor pads; they are priced higher than your standard ink pad but you are getting so much more than you do from a regular ink pad. They have been around for a long time and I think they have gotten lost in the plethora of new products that come out every other day. I've had my pads for over 18 years and I am still using the ink that they came with. Granted, I don't use them every day, but that's amazing to me that I have never had to re-ink them! I've had so many ink pads dry out on me {I just had it happen to me with a mini ink pad that had shimmer ink in it. The pad was about six months old {if even that old} and when I went to use it, it was dry as a bone. Disappointing when the perfect ink can't be used but none of my K-pads have done that. Now, if by chance they do need re-inking, the website has each color re-inker next to the pad so you don't have to search all over to get the color you need. I just think that's fabulous and had to give them a shout out as well as encourage you to get one of these pads if you don't have one. The color combinations they have are perfect and I guarantee you will use it more than you think you will.
Back to the card; I stamped the two sentiments in black right onto the card base then attached the focal sentiment onto the card with dimensional dots. There you have it - a clean and simple card with punch! I hope my card made YOU realize how awesome YOU are {especially for visiting me} and I hope you have a great day! Fondly, Christi
