Welcome back! Happy Sunday to you.
A quick little card for you today. A clean and simple, simple stamping card. Just Stamps, Ink and Paper.
The Challenge: CAS Colours & Sketches (#553) with a layout sketch found on Paper Craft Crew.


Here is the result:

Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Summer Splash cardstock.
- Accent Mat: (3⅞” x 5⅛”) Basic Black cardstock.
- Card Front: (3¾” x 5”) Basic White cardstock.
- To create the Cross Grid Patten, I used Masks and Blending Brushes.
- A Circle was punched out of a Post-It-Note with the retired (1½”) Circle Punch.
- With the Post-It-Note in place, Summer Slash ink was added to create the Circle Shape.
- The previously Post-It-Note Punched Circle was used to Mask the Summer Splash Circle.
- I used Tear & Tape, lightly applied as a Mask to create the Cross Strips.
- The (2⅜” X 2⅜”) Stitched Square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set was used to create a Square Mask from a piece of Copy Paper.
- With the Mask in place, Melon Mambo ink was added to create the Square Shape.
- All the Masks were removed. The Tear & Tape abraded the paper just a little bit when it was removed.
- Using a Ruler and my Fine-Tipped Black Liquid Gel Pen, I boxed in the Cross Strips.
- Decoration and Sentiment – Happiest Day stamp set: The Butterfly Outline image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the Two-Step Wing Infill images were stamped with Poppy Parade ink as was the “So Excited For You” greeting.
- To create the Cross Grid Patten, I used Masks and Blending Brushes.
A cute little card that can be used for many occasions.
