Enjoy The Little Things

My card uses the beautiful "Narcissus" digital stamp set from the Beccy's Place Store.

I combined the "Narcissus Posey" pre-coloured digital stamp with the

"Enjoy The Little Things" digital sentiment from the same digital stamp set.

This is an older stamp set and, sadly, it is now retired from the Beccy's Place Store.

=> I highly recommend that you become a follower of the Beccy's Place Blog

... apart from being inspired while seeing Beccy's stamps in action,
Beccy shares fabulous techniques and tutorials, introduces new releases,

and occasionally gives access to retired images
... one day the Narcissus digital stamp set may become

available for sale as part of Beccy's "Throwback Thursday" events,

where retired stamps are made available for 48 hours.

I opened the "Narcissus Posey" pre-coloured digital stamp in Silhouette Studio and sized the image to fit neatly on the front of a portrait 5" x 7" card.  I added the "Enjoy The Little Things" digital sentiment from the same digital stamp set.

I printed the image-sentiment panel on smooth white 300gsm Letter sized cardstock, scored at 5", folded, burnished the fold, then trimmed off the excess cardstock to

... almost ... finish the card.

I used to print my digital images to colour with Copic Markers using a B&W laser printer but we now have a colour printer that uses pigment inks, so I have the bonus of safely being able to add extra colour to pre-coloured images without worrying about damaging my markers.  I added some extra colour and dimension to the flower stems using G24 and G29 Copic Markers.

Next came some Wink of Stella magic.

I added a delicate sparkle to the accent lines on the narcissus flowers.
