Hello Sylvia here, this week we are highlighhting the special offer light grey and 300gsm white silk card. The light grey stamps beautifully and cuts easily in the die cutter, the white silk is ideal for card blanks, a lovely weighty card. I have two very different cards for you today and for my first card I used the white silk card for the card blank and the light grey for the main stamped image, I used ocean blue and a little daffodil yellow card to add some contrast.

I cut a piece of light grey card 14cm x 14cm and stamped the elements from the Artful Voyage stamp set using cornflower blue ink, the cruise liner was masked before stamping the text. The compass was stamped onto pieces of light grey, ocean blue and daffodil yellow card and fussy cut for layering over the stamped compass on the stamped panel. The stateroom part of the cabin class stamp was stamped onto ocean blue card using jet black ink and layered onto the stamped image too. Lastly the Bon Voyage sentiment was stamped in jet black ink over the cruise liner.

My second card is a clean and simple card with lots of white space, I used the white silk card for the card blank, light grey and ocean blue card for the words and arrow embellishment. The bicycle stamp was stamped and coloured with a marker to add some contrast to the card.
