Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop - Simple Stamping

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features Simple Stamping.

Ok, this is supposed to be easier, but sometimes it is a bit more difficult!

Once you figure out the stamp set and the direction you want to go in, it really is easy!

I decided to mimic the Texas state flower, a Bluebonnet for this card –

I used the Incredible Like You stamp set for this card.

I flower is inked up and stamped three times. The first was full ink, then each time I stamped, getting lighter as I went up. Just like a Bluebonnet in real life.

The stems / leaves were inked up, stamped on a scrap piece of paper once, then stamped up to three times to create the different shades of green. Since this Call me Clover is a nice, vibrant green, it allowed for several more stamped images after the initial stamping off.

I stamped the sentiment in the upper right side.

Very pretty, simply done!

I have been trying to incorporate Simple Stamping at my monthly Card Buffets. I think this would be a great one to feature this month!

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great simple stamping cards to show us!
