Make it Simple Monday Cheerful Daisies

 Hello and welcome 😃 This week I'm sharing inspiration using the fantastic Cheerful Daisies stamps. Now you'd think I'd be bored with using these stamps. Why? Well we hosted and all day crafting event on the Saturday just gone where I share over 20 , yes 20 , different samples using this stamp set! Yet here I am about to share another week's worth of inspiration that are compldifferent again! So yes the  Cheerful Daisies stamps are a great investment for your stash!

Now this is a 2 step photopolymer stamp set. What is 2 step stamping?  Well it's a very versatile style of stamp set. There are out line stamps that work alone. But there are also what I call infill stamps which add colour to the out line stamped image, but they also work well on their own too! So you can layer them up or use them separately giving you more bang for your buck. Being photopolymer they are easy to line up as they are see-through so great for those who are just starting their stamping journey. 

So with all that in mind here are 2 versions of the same card made using the large daisy from the set as well as the stem and leaves and sentiment.

The difference is that version one is using several colours of ink pads. 

The colours used are a bright and cheerful yellow and a breezy green that remind you of spring.

Version two is created using just one ink pad.

The bright cheerful blue is a reminder of sunny days to come . To create a lighter shade for the infill of the flower all you need to do is ink up the stamp then stamp onto a piece of scrap paper then, without reinking the stamp, stamp the image. This is a very simple technique called generational stamping. 

#simplestamping is perfect for so many reasons, speed, just starting out, for those with a very small stash... the list goes on! But one thing it's not is boring!
