This week’s Challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers is Clean and Simple.
I don’t do a lot of CAS because I love to play with inks, but I do really enjoy simple card designs now and again. I’ll be making a DT card for the ‘Spotlight’ part of this challenge, but couldn’t resist making a couple of very clean and simple cards for fun.
I used the same flower stamp (Unity Stamps) with the same colours of Tombow felt tips on both of them, but different words (Unity Stamps and Stampin Up).
The first one is stamped directly onto a folded white card, while the second one is stamped on white card, layered with a very narrow border onto green card to match the green pen I used, then onto a larger white card. Very clean and very simple but I like them.
Don’t forget to visit the Challenge blog to see the beauties my teamies have created for you this week!

Wow, these really are clean and simple. Now these are two cards I could actually appreciate. I love the look.
wonderfully CAS designs...like them a lot!
I'm really getting into these clean and Simple style cards too. Probably due to years of multilayering lol.
Love both of these, but the righthand one inparticularly looks fabulous with that rectangular green matt and layer frame around it.
Really beautiful.
When you see successes like this I wonder why we bother to do more! Love them,

They are simple but look really nice Cath, as you know I like plain backgrounds
Mmmmmm.....delish! It is difficult to leave those inks alone :) These great cards show you don't always need them though

For me this is probably one of the most difficult style of cards to make. Would not know where to begin. I always say you excel at your own backgrounds but boy do you excel in this area also. Stunning simplicity. Lynne x
These are so elegant. I look at mine now and think not very easy anymore! These are sweet.
