Clean and Simple for One Stop Card Crafts

Good morning everybody

Two weeks since I last blogged - bad girl - but just had other things going on - life - I suppose.

Anyway, I have two posts today.  The first is my DT Card for OSCC, and we are looking for Clean and Simple, so that means "A card with clean lines, minimal elements, areas of white space and few or no embellishments".  So not my style, but I realised that I actually quite like the one I have produced for today.

Our sponsor this week Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps offering the winner of this challenge 5 digital stamps or 4 digital stamps and 1 digital paper set of their choice.

I don't often do DL cards, but I felt this flower stamp needed something other than square.  The stamp is from a PaperArtsy Hot Picks Stamp plate, and there are lots of other elements as well, including a beautiful owl.  One of my many purchases at the ArtsyCrafts event I attended a couple of weeks ago.



For this card I cut a circle to use as a template and coloured it with a variety of distress inks.  I then stamped the flower with archival ink, and added extra colour direct from the pad with a paintbrush to enhance it.    Very quick and easy.  Why don't I do more of them - I don't know - I think it is the expanse of white that I just want to fill up and no embellishments!!



I am entering this for the following challenges:
