Less Is More - Spots and Stripes

I like all kinds of cards.  I like to color, cut, emboss, stamp, sponge, die cut, mist and anything else you can come up with.  One type of card I am drawn to lately is the CAS card.  So this is my entry into the Less Is More weekly challenge going on here:  Less Is More


I used a Hero Arts background stamp for the stripes.  I used a Stampin Up splatter stamp from the French Foliage set and the sentiment is from a Unity Itty Bitty stamp set from stamp of the week.  I used Distress Inks in the colors of peacock feathers and ripe persimmon.  If I'd been thinking I would have used a sentiment from Inkadinkadoo with quotes from children,  I like the one that says 'If you're feeling blue try painting yourself a different color.  Hannah Cheatem age 8  I will make another one of these cards with that sentiment to donate to OWH.

Have a great day and be inspired.

P.S.  It is hard to photograph a card that is mostly white.  :-)

  2. Nice quote in your text - and the "just because" I admit - I often also used to answer to children when they asked too many things.
