Hi everyone, I’ve been MIA for most of April, as my mojo has been on a long exotic holiday, and I just couldn’t seem to get motivated or inspired to make anything! Yesterday, however, I had to sit down to make my latest calendar page, so while I was in the mood I also made a card using a statement sentiment stamp that I picked up in a charity shop a few weeks ago, but which I haven’t inked up until now!
I cut a 14.5cm square of white stamping card, and stamped the Inkylicious Spatter Circle XL, which I had inked with bright pink, orange and yellow Elements ink and spritzed with water. I stamped the sentiment towards the right using Nocturne Versafine Clair, then die cut a black mesh panel and a couple of white daisies to place on the left. I coloured the flower centres with the same pink Elements ink, and added some gold Posca brush pen highlights both to the flower centres and the text. I matted the stamped panel onto a black border and card blank, then attached the die cut pieces.
Stamps: Inkylicious Splatter Circle XL, Stampendous sentiment;
Media: Lavinia Elements inks (Pink Elephant, Russet Orange, Lemon Drop); Versafine Clair (Nocturne); Posca brush pen (gold);
Tools: Visible Image Broken Mesh die; flower dies from Amazon.

Pauline, I’m so glad that your mojo has returned! Your card is absolutely stunning! I love the background and the flowers, and that black die cut really makes a bold statement. I love that! So glad you were able to find a stamp at a thrift store. I always love it when that happens! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We appreciate your participation!
Wow, Pauline - a holiday has done your mojo good and it has returned with a bang! This is such a creative and beautiful card. I particularly love the background stamp and how you shadowed the sentiment with the gold pen.
Hugs,
