Simply Stampin' Challenge #66 - Theme

Hi Everyone!

Last week's Colour Challenge saw some creative entries...thanks to everyone for taking part!

This week we are back with a theme and we had to make something that was...

Clean and Simple

As  I usually use layering, ribbons and buttons on my cards, keeping it 'clean and simple' 

was definitely more of a challenge for me! I went back for another play with one of my

newest stamp sets and this is what I came up with...

No layers! I stamped straight onto the card blank and only added a few jewels to the centre of the flowers...

Products used (all by Stampin' Up! unless specified):

Cardstock: Whisper White
Ink: Tangerine Tango, Old Olive, Regal Rose, Rich Razzleberry, Real Red, Daffodil Delight
Accessories: Jewels
Stamp Sets: Mixed Bunch, Curly Cute

So why don't you have a go at being 'Clean and Simple' this week, we love looking at what everyone can do! Don't worry if you don't have a blog as we do accept email entries!

Simply Stampin' Challenge #64 - Sketch

Hi Everyone!

So we had a slightly regal Theme for you all last week over at Simply Stampin' Challenge! And I love how you all came up with your own versions of the theme, some staying very typically red, white and blue with others using appropriately regal stamp sets!

On to this week's new challenge and we have a Sketch for you:

As I had just received my SU! order I obviously had to use some of my new goodies... so I tried out the 'Mixed Bunch' stamp set from the current SU! Mini Catalogue with the fab matching punch. Love that I don't need to cut anything out!

 Side shot showing where I raised elements up using foam pads...

Close up of the colour detail on the main flower, I coloured the stamp with the markers...
