HOLA !



This one-layer card is made on a white card base.  I folded a piece of A4 white card to make the card and then used some foam stamps from Making Memories inked with Distress Inks to stamp the letters to spell 'HOLA !' which of course we all recognise as Spanish for Hello!.




The exclamation mark is stamped with a foam stamp in black Archival Ink.  Once dry I used a fine black Posca pen to edge the letters with a wavy line to emphasize.





Three lines of Washi Tape were added in colours to match with a diagonal edge.  Bold colours and letters here !

This card meets the City Crafter Challenge Blog  No. 200 ' Do You Speak English?'.

  11. Quick and easy card. Am ashamed to say I have a packet of this foam and not tried it out yet. I like your idea of edging around the letters with a wavy line. Cheers Mrs A.
