Our challenge was to stamp simply and get buggy!!! well…I did both of these things. I really focussed on the art of using a simple background stamp to add the real interest. In both cases I took a 4×4 sheet and stamped an interesting background. Both cards are 5.5×5.5. It was so simple, so fast (because it is such a small space) and yet it adds so much interest. It was so fast, I actually made two cards. I also kept it simple only using two colors on each of the cards. The first cards colors were inspired by my friend Janet. She used pretty in pink and purely pomegranate together when she was at my house stamping with me and it totally blew us both away. It looks so nice together! Packs a pink punch! The second card I wanted to do buggy sophistication! So I used a lot of black with a hint of lemon tart from PTI. ALSO…a couple of things!!
