Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator
Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it. Tonight I am hopping with the Stamping Inkspiraitons blog hop. The theme this month is Splish Splash ... so I took this theme and used water in my card. I created a water colour block background to this simple bright card. Not quite a rainbow but wanted something multicoloured so I used the 2021-2023 in colours. I thought this lovely bright card was perfect to celebrate Pride Month and I used masking tape to create Mr & Mr from a Mr & Mrs sentiment stamp. I shall be sending this card to my son and his partner as they celebrate their first Pride month together.
Measurements and Materials
- Card Base - Thick Basic White card stock
- 8 1/4" x 5 7/8"

- Each clear block was tapped in a different In Colour ink pad to cover it with ink
