Clean and Simple......Sort of......


The Clean and Simple challenge at SCS this week was an inspiration challenge based on this beautiful card designed by Kelly Landers. I used a black and a ruby red marker to color various parts of a stamp from Of the Earth. Then I turned a roof stamp from Good Neighbors upside down to make the pots and popped up the center image panel on dimensionals. I based the layout of the card on this week's Saturday's Sketch Challenge at Stamping411 but I used the scallop trim border punch in place of the ribbon. Amazing the debris a "clean and simple" card can leave behind - not to mention inky fingerprints everywhere!

  11. what a beautiful card. i was wondering what stamp set you had used so I was very surprised (and tickled) when you revealed that you had used the roof from the good neighbors set as the pot for your plant. Cool idea.
