This months challenge at A Blog Named Hero is Clean And Simple and I’ve used two recent favorite stamps sets to create this card.
Supplies:
Hero Arts Mix and Match Compliments Stamp Set
Hero Arts Hot Air Blooms Stamp Set
Hero Arts Flower Petal Bold Ink Cubes
Hero Hues Floral Mix Layering Paper
Copic Markers: V09, BV01, R27, R06, YG17, E97, E99
I arranged all the stamps so they were clustered close together on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″ piece of Neenah 110lb card stock. I first stamped the sentiment. I had just acquired the ink pack and I wanted to use all four colors. Being such a large sentiment left plenty of room to show off all four colors. I applied one ink color at a time rubbing the edge of each ink color with a cloth to help it blend to the next color.
I had planned ahead where I wanted the image so once I was done stamping the sentiment, I stamped the image snug up with the words. I really wanted to use the same colors for the image as in the sentiment but I didn’t have the markers I needed. I referred to Sandy Allnock’s Copic Hex Chart to find colors that might work together. I think it worked out nicely and it helps that it was a small area.
I cut the card stock down to 4 x 5 1/4″ and adhered it to an A2 size notecard made from the aubergine layering paper.
I hope I’ve inspired you to make a clean and simple card for this challenge. Remember to visit and like the A Blog Named Hero Facebook page!
