I coloured up this gorgeous KennyK Stamps ‘After Party’ digital stamp without really thinking about how I’d use her on a card. Can you tell I’ve been watching a lot of ABC television lately with my excessive use of hot pink and lime green? LOL So, when I sat down to make this card, I did some serious stash diving, and I made it up as I went along.

This card was so fun to make! My best tip to tone down brightly coloured cardstock is to ink over it with a neutral tone. Seriously … Vintage Photo Distress Ink is the first colour I ever bought, and the one I still use most, and I still haven’t had to reink it yet!
