Love is Love

I was in the mood to create but it was late at night so I couldn't cope with anything too intricate. As luck would have it, I came across two clean and simple challenges I think go perfectly together - CAS on Friday's theme is LOVE and Addicted to CAS has RAINBOW COLOURS - and once an idea popped into my head there would be no rest until I tried it out. Here's my card:

Materials used:

• card - basic black, basic white
• distress oxide inks - candied apple, spiced marmalade, mustard seed, mowed lawn, prize ribbon, wilted violet
• other - Gentlemen thinlits (Tim Holtz), Big Shot, blending brushes, hills and drifts stencil (MFT)

I applied my colours on white card using a hills and drifts stencil and I like to think it symbolises love flowing all around us and through us. I then cut my gentleman die twice - one on the front side of the card, the second on the reverse to give me the mirror image. 

I feel it doesn't need a sentiment, so this is indeed a very clean and simple card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Welcome! It's time for another clean and simple card challenge with CAS on Friday and this time around our theme is MALE cards.

Materials used:

• stamps - Theories (Tim Holtz)
• card - basic black, watercolour
• distress oxide inks - candied apple, carved pumpkin, mustard seed, mowed lawn, salvaged patina, wilted violet
• dies - Umbrella Man (Tim Holtz), stitched rectangle
