Joy Clair Designs - You've Been on My Mind

Hello everyone!

I am back guest designing with Joy Clair Designs! Today I am sharing the Spring Bouquet Slimline Digital Stamp set. This set is has two bouquet of flowers and some wonderful sentiments for lots of occasions.

To create my card, I printed the images I wanted to use from the Spring Bouquet Slimline Digital Stamp set with my laser printer.  My card is a slimline card measuring 8 5/8 x 3 5/8.  I decided to go monochromatic for the coloring with a little hint of yellow using Copic markers.  For the sentiment, I used my computer to make a black background and then changed the sentiment white. I then used my scan & cut to cut the images.  For my card base, I cut a few layers, using a stencil on the white layer to give the card more interest.  I then used foam tape to pop the image onto the card, and added foam tape to the sentiment also and popped it onto the card.    

I love how the card turned out, I hope you try to create a card using one color.  Joy Clair Stamps has a variety of digital stamps, I hope you stop over and check them out.  

Thank you so much for stopping by, please come back again soon!
