I have been a fan of Clear & Simple stamps for awhile now but haven't been able to buy any stamps (although LOTS are on my wish list), but Amber (from Damask Love) has presented us with the opportunity to give a shout out to one of our blog crushes along with a color challenge. I think the idea is brilliant and couldn't wait to play along. Be sure to check out her post with all of the details.
One of my blog crushes is the talented Meredith of A Delightful Waste of Time. I love how she incorporates texture and hand stamped backgrounds into her work. She also hosts an amazing challenge called Festive Fridays (one I still need to create a card for, lol) and it was her latest card for this challenge that inspired my card above. I really like the look of grey with anything so the color choice below with yellows and greys was perfect for me. I went ahead and kept the card more modern and clean and think it turned out great. The background was created with PTI's Pretty Peonies annv set and the sentiment came from WMS's Fancy Phrases. After stamping the background, I embossed it with the linen plate from PTI to give it a touch of texture. With the layers of colored c/s strips adding some bulk I decided to pop up not only the sentiment strip but the flower as well.
I am hoping to play along at least one more time this week so we shall see if it works out :)
