Happy Monday, peeps! This will be quick, as it is stamp club day! Love stamping with my girls! I needed a birthday card for our pastor's wife; she is an artist in her own right, and loves what I call the "minimalist" style, so when I saw the color challenge at Clean & Simple Colours & Sketches, it called to me!
She also loves to garden....her flowers are amazing....so I pulled out a couple of really old retired sets and made this CAS card:
The silhouette image is from the retired SU Of The Earth. My intention was to stamp, emboss the image with the Subtle embossing folder, then sponge with Pool Party ink and diecut it out. I got ahead of myself and embossed first, and I was upset because I knew my silhouette would not have a clear image. I tried it anyway and decided I liked the "distressed" look of it, so I went forward, adding a Pool Party and Lost Lagoon mat:
I stamped both the outside and inside sentiments with Lost Lagoon ink and it was done!
Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

I like the distressed look as well! I never would have thought of these colors together...so simplistic...I love it! Have a blessed week and have fun with your stamp club. I've got to get one going here!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy accident - LOVE the distressed look you got!
ReplyDeleteYou've reminded me how wonderful that stamping over the subtle texture can be, LeAnne. So beautiful, and I love the sentiment!

This is a lovely CAS card and the sentiments are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis is as sweet as can be!
ReplyDeleteLove the simplicity of your card, LeAnne - beautifully CAS! The matting really sets off the pretty silhouette. Thanks so much for sharing with us at CC&S.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy accident that you embossed first. The distressed look to the image is wonderful and pairs so well with the texture. Thanks for joining us at CC&S!
ReplyDeleteI really like the distressed look you achieved with your "oops"! I think it's more visually interesting than a clear, sharp image would have been. Thanks so much for sharing your card with us at CC&S!
