a card a day in may 5/23: FRIEND

Hi, friends. A real quick and simple one today, as once again, it's late. It was a long, busy day, full of appointments and errands. No energy to even think... so this one was was simply inspired by scraps and ink colors still left on my desk from the last project:


I wanted to mask off the rectangle area, and lightly sponge on the Pool shadow ink to give a soft sky-like background. However, in the interest of saving time, ;) I used an old Lisa Spangler trick, and just used the back of the "Friend" dictionary image to stamp the Pool background ink on there instead. You could also use a small acrylic block, too, but the backing of the dictionary stamp I was going to use anyway was obviously the perfect size already. ;) "Lotus Leaves" was still sitting on my desk, too... that's where the flower came from.

Super duper tired tonight... having some tea, then heading to bed. Thanks for peekin'! See you again tomorrow! :)

SUPPLIES

LOVELY card LISA,
but I'm a bit slow in understanding how you QUICKLY did the POOL color.
Am I right in guessing that you inked the BACKSIDE of the FRIENDS stamp with POOL and then inked the front with black for the words?

So pretty, Lisa! Love the pop of red from the flower. Wish I had your scraps to work with! ;)
