Sepia and gingham

I'm quite liking clean and simple at the moment- although it's not easy to do- it's not my natural instinct to leave things be, I tend to keep tinkering.....

I don't often stamp directly onto the card, but it gives a lovely effect if you're brave enough! Loving a bit of gingham too- thought it was a bit dark to start with, but the more I look, the more I like it!

The Allsorts challenge is Here come the girls- I think this fits!

Gussie up.......

The Stampotique team are sponsoring the CAS-ual Friday challenge this week, so as guest designer, I got to join in too. The challenge is to make a square Clean and Simple card. The prize is a whopping $30 Stampotique voucher!

I went for......

I used the wistful Mela. The bottom section was masked off with post it notes and then inked with Pickled Raspberry and Seedless Preserves Distress inks. Bla, bla, bla was stamped over the top in Seedless Preserves.

 I used a paintbrush and a splash of water to use the same ink colours to paint some colour onto Mela. Finished off with my favourite saying stamp!
