Greetings friends.  All this week I have been sharing cards with a lot of coloring.  I created a lot with my Zig markers because they are so portable.  I could stamp out a bunch of images, take my markers and waterbrush with me and  color anywhere when I had some down time.

Today I want to share something different.  I want to go back to the basics with stamps, paper and ink.  I only used two colors of ink and absolutely no additional coloring.

First, I want to talk about the background.  I created my own background using two different IO backgrounds.  Remember, you can layer as many patterns as you want and different colors of ink to customize your own look.  I started with the watercolor lines background and stamped it with pink ink on a pink card to get my stripes.  Next, I stamped the watercolor dots on top of the stripes using black ink:


Finally, I stamped the bunny and greeting using the same black ink and added some black patterned washi tape to the left side of the card.  That's it!  Very clean and simple.  I also have been going through a hot pink and black phase, so I thought it would be fun to try an Easter card that wasn't in the typical pastel palette of colors.
