This week I will be posting all about Stampendous Seaside inspired stamps. Stamps that feature all seaside fun, both in and out of the water! Today I'm going to share how to make a simple card using a color scheme of just 4 colors. I'll be using a big pop of color to really make it stand out!
Using just a few ingredients you can make this bold Pen Pattern Fish stamp into the perfect summer card!
You'll need:
