I then used the rectangular Speech bubble stamp from Hobby Art Stamps set and stamped it on to some white stamping card using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I then stamped the Thanks sentiment in the middle of it using Onyx Black Versafine ink. Once it was dry, I used some blue ink that was left on my Smoothie sponge and coloured it in (I felt it matched the colouring of...
