Simple Saturday Corner Bouquet...

A simple card... using Marker Pens* to colour the multi-coloured blooms and leaves direct on the stamp... then a quick huff over the stamp... and stamp where desired...

Stamped panel then cut into 2 parts... mounted onto a Pool Party mat... with a bit of white twine trapped in between...

And then I stamped and split a few more plainer panels to produce a simple little set... though as you can tell I didn't quite finish the cards! But I am sure that you will get the idea...

* Stampin Up ! Marker Pen colours used: Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody

And a couple of simple tips for you... 

(1) Don't be too scared to cut your stamps... makes for much more versatility... as I can use Happy Birthday on its own now... on top of each other (as here)  or side by side to form the long sentiment when I want that... And I can still use ... as designed for... when I need that sentiment too...

(2) Gut your foil... I cut in at 1cm (approx 3/8") from each side... 

So now I have a panel I can use for something else another day...

It gets covered by the paper panel in any case...
