I'm back to share my DT card for the first challenge of 2015 at Top Tip Tuesday. Samantha's our hostess and she'd like to see simple cards this time. I love the fact that this type of card is mail friendly but honestly I struggle with them. Fortunately an idea popped in my head when I remembered what Tim Holtz did with this very stamp from French Flight.
Tip: Use several inks to create a watercolor effect on your stamped image.
Quick personal note here-I've been taking some time off to recover from surgery and it just happened to come off during the busiest time of the year. Before I let time slip away I just wanted to say how much I'll miss seeing Bettina's lovely creations at TTT. She has always inspired me and you can't imagine how excited I was to receive a Christmas card from her this year. I'll miss you Bettina and wish you the best of luck in your crafty endeavors. I'd be remiss if I did not thank my other teamies as well for the beautiful Christmas cards they sent me. I plan to put each one on my inspiration board so I can enjoy them all year long. Thanks so much for making my holidays brighter ladies!

LOL It's a bit strange to see such a simple design from you, but I love how you put your own twist on it with the multi-colored inking. Fantastic job Lisa! Hugs!
This is a beautiful and classy creation.
