Variations on a theme

 Good morning blogland,

It's Saturday and Team Wends' turn for the new challenge at Sweet Stampin' - this fortnight the theme is Clean and Simple (CaS). As always this is a stamping challenge - so there has to some stamping (digital or rubber) on your project somewhere. Doesn't have to be a card and doesn't have to have colouring, just stamping.

So, as I'm sure you long time bloggy friends (if I have any left after my lacklustre performance so far this year!) will know I'm rather enamoured of the CaS style.  I like it almost as much as I love colouring, so I've popped up two cards for this challenge. One I would consider my 'pared back style' and one more classic CaS.

Cards:

Paired back style:

Supplies Used:

Digital stamp:

Saturated Canary - '60/'70 Decades fashion (there are two images and I used one)

unfortunately Krista closed her etsy shop closed so I don't know where you'd get this image anymore.

Coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:

taylored expressions - Simple Strips: Birthday

Dies:

taylored expressions - Simple Strips: Well rounded

un-branded stitched rectangle

Anything else:

scraps of patterned paper

More traditional Clean and Simple:

Supplies used:

 

Rubber stamp:

Catherine Pooler - All Around Wishes

Dies:

Whimsy Stamps - 'Birthday' word and shadow die

Anything else:

My Favorite Thing Stencil - Wonky Dots

Cosmic Shimmer - Victorian Gold

I like both the CaS styles and probably my favourite is with colouring (as I love to colour, I might have mentioned that) but the 'proper' CaS really does get my brain thinking and I enjoy that as well.

Why not pop over to the challenge and see what fabulous cards my Teamies have made as well - and they are fabulous!

Right well I'm off now to do some stretching as, not only did I get Covid recently (from which I've totally recovered thankfully), I've also now done something to my back from lugging wood effect tiles around!  We are having our dining / sitting room re-skimmed and painted with a new tile floor being laid next month.  The new tiles we ordered were delivered to the drive but not brought in - so me and hubby have lugged 100mm thick 1200x800mm long/wide ceramic tiles from drive to conservatory and my back went pop.  Oh what a fun Easter holiday it's been!

See you soon,

Sarah
