Good Monday morning!!
I am here to today to share a card I have made for our latest challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show: Into the woods. Once again this challenge offer so many possibilities...just check out the awesome Dt inspiration!!!
Immediately I thought of my Hero Arts Designer Woodgrain stamp, but I wanted to challenge myself to make a "girly" card. Here it is:
I did a type of reverse inking with this stamp. First you generously apply ink to your paper....I just put the ink pad directly down and swept it over the paper a good few times.
The Lots of Hearts clear stamp set by Simon Says was the perfect match with the cute wood grain hearts :) To pump up the girly aspect I added a Die-namics flourish covered with Glossy Accents. It was cut from my stash of handmade papers using the "Resolve" method....you can find HERE.
I would love to see your take on the theme "into the woods", so pop on over to Simon Says Stamp and Show and link up your project :)

Then you spritz your stamp with water and stamp it down on your inked paper, let it sit for a minute or so while applying pressure. When you lift up your stamp, you will have also "lifted" up some of the ink...so to speak, but not really...it is just the water reacting with the ink :)

Trace...your girly card using that wood grain stamp is cool! Love that reverse stamping technique where you inked the paper and then stamped with water. Very cool result. Your colorful hearts and flourish make great girly embellishments! <3 Candy
Bond says... This card is so cool. I love the mix of girlie and woodsie I would never have thought they would go together so beautifully but you proved that they sure do. I love that background paper too.
Well done Trace! What a fun technique, and the result is fabulous! Great girly card using woodgrain bg!!
Beautiful card, Trace! Love the combo of girly with the dark woodgrain. Hugs, Sandra
Hi Trace, love the wood grain in the background and the reverse stamping works beautifully. The pop of colour really is effective set against the dark background. Love it. Tracy x
Love this slightly uncharacteristically girly card of yours, Trace! Woodgrain is so hot :)
