Calee DT - Hello You

Hello , this week I have a simple card to share with you , with not too many steps , quick and easy for when you just need a card in a hurry . 

My fist step was to take a DL card blank and using some washi  tape , mask off a thin boarder around the edge . As I planed to post this card  I didn’t want too many layers , but still wanted a white edge to my card , to doodle a boarder .

Next I taped down the Fern Flourish big one inkable and using Distress ink Mermaid Lagoon I started to ink through it . 

Next some Distressed ink Squeezed Lemonade was added  over lapping the colours to create a subtle green .

Next the washi tape was peeled off  carefully leaving a thin white edge , to which I added a stitched boarder with a black fine liner pen . 

Using one of  the bird stamps from the Doodle Art Rainbow Birds and some small pieces of  catalyst cards from pack #3 . Three birds were stamped and cut out . 

Next a thin strip of black card was cut and I added a    dotted boarder with a white Posca pen . 

Then I glued down the black strip and birds on to my card in a design that I was happy with .  

Using the Wordage Everyday Sentiments 1. My sentiment was stamped and given a black edge  , for this I used a black sharpie pen and a ruler .

 This is my finished card , while tidying away I spotted a small piece of catalyst card with two little hearts on and couldn’t resist adding them as a finishing touch . 

Thank you for taking a look , I hope you found my step by step useful . 

Happy crafting
