Ack! The Less is More challenge is a toughie this week: one layer card and stripes. I love one-layer cards, but the stripe part threw me. Not having lots of stripes in my stash, I used a stamp from PTI Round and Round to create rainbow stripes. I'm linking this one up to One-Layer Wednesday, as well, since it definitely has more than five circles.
The stamp consists of two rows of circles and dots. I inked each dot separately and the Memento teardrop shape sure came in handy for that. It also helped that I finally cleaned my gridded acrylic block. It was so inky I could hardly see the grid lines. :)
I also made a quick Valentine using a striped bee from the Hero Arts be happy set. I made the sentiment on the computer. Not much to say about this one, except that the wings are colored with a Sakura sparkle pen, so they have a nice sparkle to them.
Supplies:
Paper: PTI white
Stamps: PTI round and round, Hero Arts be happy
Ink: Memento

Your cards are perfect for "Simplicity," Ann. I can't decide which I like better, but I'm leaning, of course, towards the whimsical schweet bee!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we got you thinking Ann and you certainly came up trumps with these two beauties!
