It's Sunday and time for new challenges at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps.
The lovely Laurie is our hostess this week at The Paper Players. The challenge is Clean and Simple using plants!
The Sunday Stamps challenge is a color challenge. Remember to use a minimum of 3 colors and a neutral!
I am also playing along with the CAS on Sunday Challenge. Their theme this week is "Polka Dots" and you know I love them!
My card is created on a Kraft base instead of white. I hope that passes for CAS. I created a frame in black for my cactus using a stamp by Rubbernecker stamps. The cactus are from Stamps of Life Succulents2 stamp set. I cut out the pots in red paper with the matching dies. I paper pieced the pots with black and white stripes and polka dots using the same dies. I colored the cactus with Copic Markers. I stamped the sentiment in black. It is from the same stamp set.
REMEMBER THIS IS CLEAN AND SIMPLE WEEK - THESE ARE THE RULES WE POST EVERY CAS CHALLENGE
What do we mean by Clean and Simple?
- Minimal layers and embellishments
- Plenty of open space, aka "white" space
