It's Friday, time for the Stamp Something challenge! The Sweet Stems stamp set rises to the color challenge to Stamp Something in yellow, green and blue. This is a wonderful combo to dress any card in, especially perfect for spring!
We are being hosted today by Cutting Cafe and you'll love seeing the awesome projects of the DT with these colors. Give the challenge a try and join the fun!
I wanted a clean and simple card, and this one came together in less than 30 minutes start to finish. Using the stems without coloring them in made it easy. I stamped the scalloped oval out of the white panel to reveal the So Saffron piece. I added a bit of sponging to the small oval, and popped it up.
Clean and simple is so refreshing. Sometimes I think every card needs a different layout or special touch. Reinventing the wheel takes a long time and doesn't always produce a better result. I need to remember to go back to some of my own favorites and use the layouts again. Do you have a favorite go-to layout? It is amazing how many options there are with stamps, paper and accessories - that's why I love cardmaking!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Isnt' that pretty? I'm loving the colors...hugs, Michelle
