Clean and Simple stamping has always been hard for me, preferring to create elaborate cards with many layers and embellishments. So whenever I can I take the opportunity to try this technique and taking part in the CASology challenge was a great time to do so.
The CAS guidelines are as follows:
- One main image
- Lots of open space, uncluttered
- Limited layers & embellishments
- Quick & easy to recreate
My decision was to make a note card that could be sent with a plate of cookies, or a cake, etc whenever the occasion calls for "Thinking of You"
The Inspiration for this week's card is "View"
In this one layer note card, the focal image is stamped on a piece of Basic White card stock die cut with the Stitched Rectangle Die.
A 1 1/4" circle was punched in a scrap piece of card stock. This was used as my reverse mask to colour the moon. After determining the moon location, the mask was adhered and a blending brush was used to add Daffodil Delight with a touch of Calypso Coral in the punched circle
The tree from "Beauty of Friendship" was stamped using Early Espresso ink, with some of the branches extending into the moon. Grounding was added below the tree. Around the top of the tree some 'blotches were added creating a bit of texture.
The sentiment was stamped with Early Espresso ink on a strip of Basic White card stock punched at both ends with the Banners Pick a Punch. It was added across the tree trunk,
The completed art piece was then adhered to the front of a note card.

Stamp: Beauty of the Friendship
Inks: Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake
