It’s Sale-a-bration time again! And so this month’s #SimpleStamping challenge from Stampin’ Up! is to create any kind of card featuring a Sale-a-bration item. So considering I can only use stamps, ink and paper I decided to do some #SimpleStamping with Textures & Frames. This is one of the stamp sets that you can earn for free right now til the end of September. I’m still trying to decide if I like this stamp set. I used it for another card, which you can check out here. Let me know what you think.
For this card I kept things very simple. I used a Basic Black card base to help the different colours really pop and Basic White cardstock for the other pieces. I wanted to try and make a kind of abstract design. So I paired up a bunch of the images from the stamp set with the new In Colours. All of them except for Evening Evergreen anyway. I also stamped the ink splatter image on the inside of the card using Fresh Fressia.
I went back and forth on whether to add anything else… like a phrase using another stamp set. But I decided to keep it general and abstract and not add a phrase. To add a little something more though I did pop up my colourful strip with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I loved the challenge of #SimpleStamping with Textures & Frames! You would think that with the word simple in it, it would be simple to create them. But I often find I need to really think about these designs before I start stamping. With my other designs I can kind of design and tweak as I go. It’s harder to do that with these designs I find. Weird right?!
