Today's special guest star, Yana, is so gifted, sweet and inspiring!  Her projects are as lovely as she is...full of the same bright vivaciousness as she is.  We've been privileged to have Yana guest on the w&w blog before...CLICK HERE to see her beautiful cards.

Please welcome Yana once again to the w&w blog! Hello Winnie & Walter fans! This is Yana Smakula and I’m super excited to share a few absolutely simple one layer stamped speech bubble cards.

I used Sketchy Thoughts stamp set and only a handful of ink colors to create these cards. I went with pink, peach and apricot colors to stamp the backgrounds.

I love that the speech bubbles included in the Sketchy Thoughts set aren't entirely solid images, there's a bit of detail to them - they look like they are sketches and thus the inside of the bubble isn't completely filled in, they look very cool.

I used black ink to stamp main sentiments for these cards and black really made them pop against the vibrant background. I also added additional subliminal messages from the Sentimental: Love stamp set using light gray ink and I stamped those overlapping the bubbles.

Lastly, I added my favorite clear droplets in small and medium size to spice this design up. You can skip adding those if you prefer to have an absolutely flat card.
