Today's card and video is part of MISTI Maynia. What is MISTI Maynia? It's huge - a FREE Mini MISTI - every day in the month of May! I know right! All of the details can be found below.
I've got to admit, I'm just a little bit jealous as I don't have the Mini MISTI just yet. But I do have the original MISTI stamping tool and love it! And that is what I've used in today's video to create my card.
Watch above or watch in HD at YouTube
Today's card takes it back to the basics. No crazy techniques or tricks. It's all about the color and stamping today. OK...maybe one little trick is in there. But you get the point, it's a "purist" card today. LOL
Our recently released You Equal Kind stamp set takes me back to my roots - my first love - Clean and Simple one layer.
I've always been a sucker for good imagery. When the images are strong, all I have to concentrate on is the layout and my color palette. Sometimes, removing all of the clutter really helps and can serve as a "design detox".

ReplyDeleteWhat charming cards! I love the Misti. So excited to have a chance to win the mini! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet I always love your cards! I'm dying to win a Misti they are impossible to get in Ireland and the postage costs would be pretty expensive to get it shipped to me. I'm not the world's greatest stamper either and I've totally ruined cards by trying to get a good image and it coming out with bits missed then trying to restamp the image and I then make a complete mess of it!
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous. And you are so right - removing the clutter really helps.
ReplyDeleteThe colors on this sweet card are perfection! Love this Mini Misti, what a fabulous tool! Thanks for the chance to win one!

I've ordered the regular Misti and it should come in tomorrow..I hope, because I stamp a lot on watercolor paper and i can't stamp twice or trice on the same spot if my life depended on it...i like the wonky offset look too, like old fashioned comic book printing

ReplyDeleteI'd love to win a mini MISTI, thanks for the opportunity.
What a great card! I really like how you only used one layer of catdstock but the stamped images make it appear so pretty. This is a great way for a stamper who is new or with limited supplies to make a great set of cards with just white cardstock. Thanks for sharing. I have a ton of similar type flowery stamps sets and I'll have to pull them out to try something like you did. Thank you for the opportunity to win a mini MiSTI!

ReplyDeleteWow, cute card! Here goes my chance to something.
ReplyDeleteA great tool. love it , good luck for the winner.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Card!!
ReplyDelete(Warning...comment is a little sappy...) I just love the generosity of artists. In such a competitive world, it's a hopeful thing to see all of these artists sharing/teaching skills and ideas so freely. As artists, we recognize that there is not a finite amount of happiness or success in the world and that we ALL benefit from sharing ourselves and our talents.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Card!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fresh clean design! Love your colour choices. My stamping technique is not great. A Misti would help greatly with getting a clear image
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and simple, love it.
ReplyDeleteLove your stamps and they'd come out even better if I won a Misti.
ReplyDelete
