Good morning lovely friends. I hope you're all doing ok and having a great week so far. It's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge. This week we are back to Week 1 and as always the theme is 'stamps' and our hostess is Leanne. We want to see all your stamps this week, whether that is clear, red rubber or digi, we don't mind. We hope you will come over and join in the fun with us.
I was in the mood to make something one layer and clean and simple this week. I used a colour challenge that took my eye and got to work. I'm not entirely happy with it but I think it turned out ok; let me know what you think.
Here is my card:
A close up of the image:
Plus I decorated the inside:
I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4". I stamped the background stamp in a gradient of red inks and then decided to trim my panel down slightly to 3 7/8" x 5 1/8". The dandelion clock stamps are two-step stamps so I began by stamping the stems and then the tops in black ink. I then stamped the sentiment in the lower left corner and a few extra seeds above it to balance the layout. For a final touch I added some stickles glitter glue onto the seeds for a bit of sparkle. For dimension I added some scrap panels of off white card that I don't use instead of foam tape behind the panel with double sided tape. I also added the panel to the card base with double sided tape. For the inside I cut the same size white panel and stamped part of the background stamp in the bottom left corner. I also stamped the smaller dandelion clock and a few seeds. I stamped the sentiment in the centre of the panel in black ink. I added the panel to the card base with double sided tape. A really quick and easy card today.

I love the gradient colors on your stripes, and the way you embellished the design with dandelion seeds. Adding the stickles was a great way to finish your lovely card. The inside is great, too. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!

Hi Denise,
oh what a very brilliant card and the design looks so vibrant and beautiful.
Thank you for joining the MAWTT Challenge.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L DT
Big WOW! This card turned out more than “ok” in my books!! It’s stunning! 🤩 Maybe it’s the red shades and black that attracted me. Maybe it’s the clean lines. Maybe cuz it’s just bold! Love it!
Great take on the colours Denise using your Uniko stash, the panel trimmed and popped up works really well. Thanks for being inspired by the Color Hues colours. :)
