A Note to Brighten Your Day

Before the month ends, I have one more card to share with you using images from the Spring set, this month’s Stamp of the Month from Clear and Simple Stamps. I created a bright and cheery note card using the set’s teeny, tiny umbrella images.

I inked each umbrella individually to get the rainbow colored line-up. To get the total of seven, I needed to stamp part of the image a second time—the clear images make it easy to line up just right. The stamped panel is layered on a Green with Envy mat, then on a Say Yellow to All Your Fans mat.

I covered a Green with Envy card base with a coordinating paper with a subtle grid pattern. I pleated some matching satin ribbon across the front of the card, then centered the image over the pleated ribbon, using foam tape to secure it. The set’s “just a note to brighten your day” sentiment is stamped underneath the image panel.
