Another card for the CLean and SImple 4 class at Online Card Classes. The emphasis on day three was inking techniques. The technique I used here is called Velveteen Stamping. It isn't a new technique, but I really like the results. I just hope y'all can see them in the picture. Rather can keep it CAS, I got carried away making a background paper. Not exactly the intent of the class, but sometimes you just have to go with the flow!
I split the piece into panels and layered them onto pale green before attaching them to the card front. I die cut the word three times from an apricot colored paper and once from a red corrugated piece. I stacked them and misted with Sparkle Shimmer Spritz before attaching it to the card.
I really like the way this turned out - it's so happy and "springy"!
As always, Thanks for looking!

You MADE that paper? It's so perfectly stamped!! Every image is so clear! Love the design and the smile sentiment in red is so perfect! You are right, it's a happy, upbeat card!

Ah, Jody, you brought SPRING and SMILES to us here in the cold Mid Atlantic states! Just looked out the window after watching Super Bowl and the news and the snow is coming down like crazy, but YOUR card warmed my heart with your handmade BG paper - Love that big ol' SMILE popped up on the front too! HUGS!

Jody, if you hadn't described what you had done, I would have thought this was a lovely DP. To me, your lovely card still has a crisp and clean look....and looks like spring/summer itself. Wonderful!!
