Stamped Backgrounds

For this clean and simple card I stamped the background with black ink repeatedly with a bloom from Altenew's Golden Garden set. Then using Altenew's Watercolor Brush Spring Garden markers I scribbled off some of the different inks onto an acrylic block and used a paint brush to water them down a bit as I wanted a softer image. I stamped the sentiment on a strip of pink cardstock using Altenew's Sentiment Strips 2 set in black ink.

I made a matching light pink envelope as this was part of the class. It's been awhile since I stamped a background like this and it's good to be reminded that these ideas work well for clean and simple cards. Thanks for looking!
