Keeping It Simple at TIOT

Hi everyone, here we are in August already. Many of you will be on holiday this month so we are going to 'Keep It Simple' at Try It On Tuesday. The Design Team have lots of inspiration for you so please take a look here. While you are over on the TIOT blog it may be useful to check up on the (few) rules we have.

I have made a card - it's an open card and I think mine may be a notelet as I have some catching up on mail to do.

The flower is a Crafty Individuals stamp designed by Sharon Bates which I stamped and then masked off to add little frame made by inking the lid of my ink pad. I coloured the flower with Lavinia Mattints, the colours mix beautifully and allow the stamped image to show through well.

I hope you will find time to 'Keep It Simple' and join us at TIOT this time, as usual the theme runs for two weeks.

Thanks for looking, Chris

    That's a great card Chris. I love that pretty blue. Hope the foot isn't being too much of a pain to deal with. hugs-Erika

    BLUE-tiful!… blue is my favourite colour! Love the creative stretching of the ink pad lid to “stamp” the frame!

    A lovely card Chris, the blue is such a striking colour. Love your idea of inking the lid for a frame.
