Just Because

26th March 2021

Today I have a very quick and cheerful card for you using the first release from Crafty Purple Frog which I am currently addicted too.

I started but stamping some of the images from the Flowers and Berries stamp set in Versa Mark ink, this ink stays wet for a while and allows you to use embossing powders with it. For this card I used WOW! bright white embossing powder and went ahead and heat set the powder on my card layer.  After I did this I used Distress Oxide inks in colours of my choice, (I like bright colours so I chose Squeezed Lemonade, Peacock Feathers and Picked Rasberry) to blend over the embossed images with my blending brushes, once Iwas happy with my blend I gently rubbed over the top with a tissue, this takes the ink off the embossing and makes the images pop out.

I layered the piece onto black card, this seems to be my go to at the moment as it helps to draw your eye into the card.  I then selected two sentiments from the Just Because stamp set, stamped and layered them and attached them to my card. I went for Just Because and  I wanted to make you smile as I am sending the card to a friend who needs a little cheering up.

I hope you give this card a go, it was fun to make and could easily be replicated many times.

Take care and keep crafting
