Clean, Simple and Bright

Just a couple of clean and simple cards, today!

The first one is for the CAS15 challenge at SCS.  We were to use mainly black and white--with just a touch of a bold bright color. I chose Gable Green.

CAS15-Isa61-3

Materials:

Stamps: Flourish from the Flourish Set by Rubbernecker; Isaiah 61:3 from Verve

Paper: Prism: Simply Smooth and Black; Gable Green SU!;

Ink: Stazon Jet Black and Gable Green

Accessories: jewels, foam tape, ribbon, punch;

 

This next card is for a layout on a clean and simple blog: Clean and Simple Stamping.  It is my take on Fall-to Layout #41.  I switched the sentiment and ribbon.

FTL41-Stay Cool

It is difficult to see in the photo but the drinks have stickles applied to the bubbles before the glaze is applied over top.

Materials:

Stamps: Party Time Set form Rubbernecker

Paper: Prism: Simply Smooth, black, Sunflowers Light and Medium

Ink: StazOn-Jet black;

Accessories: Colored pencils, crystal effects, stickles, deco scissors, ribbon, foam tape

I am off to get some more cards done—one for a little girl who turns one tomorrow—and she underwent open-heart surgery last Thursday.  Her name is Addison if you would like to help me pray for her continued recovery.

Thanks for stopping by!

The second card was inspired by the Color Throwdown #42.

CTD42 swatch My turquoise is more muted than the SU!, Tempting Turquoise—but I am all out of the SU! color.

Wacky Wednesday—In Stitches

This week, for Wacky Wednesday our talented leader, Sherry, has posed the challenge to use stitching on our projects. Any kind, machine, hand, or even faux stitching. The details of the challenge can be found on the Rubbernecker Stamp Company BLOG.

My samples for the challenge also have previews of tomorrow’s new stamp releases!!!! As you can see, I was in a Clean and Simple (CAS) mood. These are not quick cards for me—since I have to think about them in such different ways. I really enjoy the look for a change and I love that they can be sent with just one postage stamp.

NOW—Go and see what the rest of the Design Team has done, check out the details on the Rubbernecker Stamp Company BLOG, and come back tomorrow to see the new releases!
