Greetings friends.  Today I want to show you a card that is so quick and easy and yet a good one to have on hand in case you know someone who needs a bit of a pick me up or some encouragement.

To start, I took a cream card and sponged a band of yellow PanPastel chalk at the bottom, some orange PanPastel in the middle and some Magenta PanPastel at the top.  Then I put my card in the MISTI stamp positioner and stamped the Forest Sun image on top in brown Versafine ink.  To finish the card, I added my sentiment on top of a banner I cut using the Pinked Stitched Sentiment die.  Done!  You really can do it in less than 10 minutes, and that includes die cutting time.

Hint...it really is a good idea to use a stamp positioner for this card.  Anytime you are stamping a large or detailed stamp (this one is both), you might need to stamp it more than once to get a good impression.

Items Used in this card:
Forest Sun L13829
Pinked Stitched Sentiment Banner DIE814-U
Sentiments 3219-LG (It is a set.  I used the Keep Faith sentiment out of the set)

Just gorgeous! Silhouette style stamps make card making super fast. Sponge a background, stamp the images over top, and slap a sentiment on it. And non-crafters are always so impressed by it :-)
