30 Day Gratitude Challenge 2025: Day 15

Good morning,

Sometimes we have lots of time to make very detailed and fancy cards and other times we need something quick and easy.  Today is one of those days.

I love that the Trusty Tools stamp set carried over into the current Annual Catalog but a lot of cards made with it are very detailed with lots of die cut pieces and coloring, today's card has none of that.

I used Basic White Thick cardstock for the cardbase and then Basic White for the cardfront which is matted with Basic Black cardstock.  I stamped the paint brushes and then used the coordinating stamp to add the color.  The brush strokes were a little tricky but I used the outline paint brush stamp and just inked the bottom and then flipped the stamp so the edge of the stamp was in the solid color and the brush strokes were below (hope that makes sense).

Love the clean lines and you could change up the colors for the occasion or person you're giving this to.

Below are easy ordering links for the products used on today's card:
