The How:
Since the wax seal stamp is fairly large, I was able to ink it up with 2 shades of blue on 1 side (on a slight angle rather than targeting symmetry), then I inked up the rest of the stamp with 2 shades of green and a touch of brown. After the stamp was completely inked, I spritzed it with glimmer mist and stamped it onto my simple white card base.....instant happiness! (I'm crazy about how 'white' makes the colors pop, and the glimmer mist isolates the sparkle to the stamp lines!) Finally, I added my sentiment; you might be able to tell that most of the sentiment stamp is using grey ink but the word 'thanks' is inked in black. I opted out of using water or glimmer mist before stamping the sentiment (to avoid blurring), and just used my breath to refresh the ink before stamping as shown in the picture.
Hope you like my card - and that will join us this weekend as we play around with color using ANY style we want!
Huge hugs,
Audrie

I always admire the way people can turn out simple CAS cards - CAS and me don't get along too well together - its always a struggle to stop adding things. This is just perfect.
