Hi everyone,
When thinking about what to do for a challenge over at Stampin' up Colour Challenge, I realised that sometimes we just overthink it, or make it complicated.
I can sit for hours playing with this embellishment, this colour combo or that pattern paper trying to get it just right. Sometimes, if we go back to basics, we find simplicity, and room for our creations to just breathe and speak for themselves.
The challenge was One colour, One stamp and One sentiment and white if you want.
So my first take was to use colour on white.
Beautiful Day stamp to the rescue as it allowed me to add some more colour - I used the new Balmy Blue. The card had that serene feel that I was after and I was able to add some Wink of Stella to give it a bit of bling!
I still got to stamp, I still got to colour, and I still got layers! Simples!
So then I tried my hand at white on colour!
This time using the Botanical Bliss stamp set for both my stamp and my sentiment.
I love how the white "pops" against the luscious Rich Razzleberry cardstock.
A bit of masking, a bit of heat embossing and a bit of watermarking!
So many techniques, without the frills and fuss!!
Just goes to show that sometimes, it is more about the sausage than the sizzle!!
Give it a try - just Keep it Simple - and post your creations over at Stampin' Up Colour Challenge!
See you there!!
"til next time......
