Back to work for me today (August 31st)! Gahhhhhhhhh! Okay, now that I have that out of my system, a hearty welcome Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #209~Clean and Simple
My card today showcases a variety of STAMPlorations products: Flourishes All Over, stenciled in light blue, a sentiment from Party Time, and, a rose (from a set that I can't find in the shop), coloured with Chameleon pens, fussy cut, and set atop an inlaid die-cut stitched circle.
(apologies for the very *soft* photo...overcast day....)
Turning the stage over to you!
What Clean and Simple creativity will you share in the gallery? Excited to see...

ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card! Bummer that your summer break is over already. Where did the time go? Seems like yesterday was your first day of break. I'm Wahhhhing right along with you, friend. Even though I know I am late joining you! Back to the card. I so enjoy your stenciling. It always looks so pretty. Your coloring on the rose is impeccable and that inlaid circle adds just the right amount of interest. Terrific card, my friend! Hugs! :)
