This is a mega Clean and Simple card. It took no time at all and can be used for all different occasions by adding a sentiment inside.
I took a white piece of card and trimmed it to be just a bit narrower than my card blank then partially stencilled Shaded Lilac and Twisted Citron Distess Inks through a Crafters Workshop diamond stencil. The stencil itself is a distressed design and I didn't put it on straight or ink the whole piece of card. The sentiment is cut from a snippet of black card using one of the awesome Stamploration Cutploration dies. They are such fab quality and I love the font. I added some Wink of Stella to the 'hugs' then glued the panel to the card base.
Here is an alternate version using Shaded Lilac and Twisted Citron inks and the word 'smile'. The Twisted Citron doesn't come out too well in the photo but looks cool in real life!
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Less is More - Diamonds
Stamplorations - Feature a Die Cut
Pixie's Snippet Playground - Use Snippets
Bizzy Becs - Anything Goes

Definitely very clean looking and maybe simple to you but I am sure it took skill to stamp so beautifully

Love both colourways!
ReplyDeleteThese are both great. I like the color combo of the second card better but that's just my personal tastes. Both are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteOh very nice indeed! I love the way you did the stencilling and the gorgeous colours you used. The words look amazing, especially the hugs - like you, I like the font very much too. Two super cards! Hugs, Anne xx
