I am loving this stamp set, Reason to Smile. One reason is it is a two-step stamp and I love two-steppers! Another reason is it is only $5!!! Super deal! Here are several cards I made with the set (I really thought I had already shared them but don't see them.)
This first one is the one we did in club this week. It uses the Emboss Resist technique. I stamped the flower with Versa Mark ink and embossed it in white. Then, using daubers, rubbed Daffodil Delight on the flower; Cajun Craze in the center; and a little Island Indigo around the edges.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Cajun Craze, Island Indigo, Summer Smooches DSP, Whisper White
Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Reason to Smile
Ink: Island Indigo, Versa Mark, Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight
Accessories: Island Indigo Ribbon; Big Shot; Labels Framelits; Itty Bitty Banners Framelits; Daubers, White Embossing Powder, Heat Gun; Fancy Fan Embossing Folder
This card is a very simple one. I stamped the flower in Elegant Eggplant and used a yellow marker to color in the bottom part of the flower. Then I used the Color Spritzer to spritz a little color onto the card.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Sahara Sand, Eleg. Eggplant, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Elegant Eggplant
Stamp: Reason to Smile
Access: Color Spritzer, SU Markers, Eleg. Eggplant Dotted Ribbon; Labels Framelit

And the final card is also a very simple one to make. I stamped the flowers in black ink and used Calypso Coral ink to color the flower - just making a few brush strokes and not coloring in the whole flower.

Ink: Calypso Coral, Black
Stamp: Reason to Smile
