Paint card.



My second piece for "Things with Wings" over on the Country View Crafts challenge is a very simple and quick card.

I have recently been buying paint from a paint store and picked up a few paint sample cards.
This stamp from PaperArtsy HP1506, is the perfect size to fit along the colours.
I stamped with black Archival ink , added a strip of ribbon and stamped an extra butterfly onto another paint card and added a greeting from Emma Godfrey's mini stamp EM18, finally mounting onto black card.
There is still time to enter our challenge and be in with a chance of winning £20 to spend in the CVC shop. 

Products used:- Black Archival pad; HP1506; EM18.

    I do love that stamp and it works perfectly with the paint sampler. What a clever idea! I love those things and always have. Given I also used to like to stand in front of the ranks of coloured thread in sewing departments (even though I hated, loathed and abhorred sewing), I should probably have noticed earlier in my life that colour and visuals were important to me! Fabulous card - nothing wrong with simple and quick when it looks this good.

    I do love a bit of recycling... I have some paint samples somewhere but I never got around to do anything with them! The stamp is gorgeous and the paint sample makes a great backdrop. xx

    I recently had to make a project using a paintchip for an upcoming challenge - I wish I had made this! It gives a fabulous ombre effect to a vintage style and this is a gorgeous card.
