I stamped the image with black PTI ink directly on to my PTI kraft paper and used my Prismacolor pencils to color it in. I didn't use anything else! And I used the colored pencils without blending with mineral spirits or anything - I just colored directly onto the paper.
And the sentiments and sayings in this set are so much fun! I stamped the saying in the same black PTI ink directly onto the card stock again.
And of course I decorated the inside!! I don't consider a card done unless I do something to it on the inside! But that's just me....I love to get any kind of hand-made card! In keeping with the simplicity of the card, I only used the little square knot stamp included in the set, in each corner.
Thanks for looking and leave a comment to let me know what you think!!! I have a little 'Christmas in July' project I'm working on. I just hope I can get all of it done and posted before July is over! My 3 month old grandson and his mommy are coming for at least a week-long visit and I have to give up my stamping room so they have some place to sleep. Oh well, the sacrifices we Gma's have to make!! I take it any day!!!
Bye!

This is gorgeous! I just love Claire and her illustrations. You are making me think I need this set.
Love the pure simplicity of this card and the coloring on kraft is fab! Hope you have a great week with your grandson!
Nicely done as a simple card, I think it compliments the stamp very well.
I'm so excited to see someone use this set. Claire is an absolute genius, don't you think?
