Simple Stamping with Pretty Florals by Stampin' Up!®

 Sometimes it is nice to get back to basics. That's just what I did with this card. Simple stamping is just using stamps, inks and paper (cardstock or patterned). 

The Pretty Florals stamp set by Stampin' Up!® is a great option for simple stamping. There are a variety of flower images. I paired this set with the Simply Said stamp set by Stampin' Up!® because it has a variety of greetings. Strawberry Slush really pops with Secret Sea and Cloud Cover. You can get more out of your ink pads with generation stamping. That is simply stamping off on scrap paper before you stamp your project. So first generation is inking and stamping. Second generation is inking, stamping off and then stamping your project, and there is even third generation where you stamp off twice and then onto your project. This really stretches your supplies. On my card, I did first and second generation stamping with all the colors. You can see it in the close-up photos.
