Thank you

Good Morning Everyone

Today im sharing a small set of one layer CAS stamped thank you cards.  I used my ombre ink pads - i decided before chrismtas i need to use them much more as they are years old and they are so effective. 



5x5 White linen cardblank. Using the ink pad ive stamped the crazy cat stamps and their accessories randomly over the card and then stamped the sentiment - learning from this first card i stamped the sentiment first on the next one to get it more central - for this first card i had orginally planned to stamp the greeting seperately and die cut into a shape but after stamping the cats i thought it would be a shame to hide them. 


2nd version using the crazy dogs.


and 3rd version using Hobbyart linocut hare stamps and the cappuccino inkpad. I also doodled in a stitched border with a co-ordinating fine liner pen.  Was pleased how effective the inkpad was on a more solid design than the crazy cats/dogs.


These are the ink pads, looking at the open one, the little tab to the left you slide and it slides the different ink colours together so that you get a seamless join inking up stamps, then you slide them apart for storage so they don't seep into the colour beside.  Im not sure why i haven't used them more but this year that is changing!

Items Used:
Tim Holtz crazy cats & dogs mini stamps
Hobbyart 'lino cut hares' stamp set
Stampin up 'sassy salutations' sentiment stamp
Kaleidacolour ink pads - caribbean sea & cappuccino
CraftUK ltd white linen cardstock
Brown fine liner pen

Thank you all for stopping by.  I hope you enjoy the rest of the week and weekend.  Emma
