I have come the the realization that I am a Clean and Simple stamper/card maker – and that there is really nothing wrong with that (I have finally come to accept this!!). The cards I have the most success with are those that are simple. If I try to include too many layers, patterns or colours they cards never work. So while blog surfing I came across a new challenge site called Less is More which launched its first challenge this week.
Now I am the first to admit that pink really isn’t my colour but I thought I would have a go at this weeks challenge – which was to use the colours Pink, Black and White. I also used the sketch from the Stamping 411 site. Their sketch was:
And here is my card:
Card Details:
Cardstock: Rose Red, Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink: Rose Red, Basic Black
Accessories: Blushing Bride Ribbon, Stamp-a-ma-jig
Would love to hear your thoughts!
Cheers
