"Kindness"

I'm on a roll right now.  With a few days off and needing to switch my focus from looking after my Father to other things I have decided to play along on a couple of different challenges today.

The first challenge is a colour challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks.

The second challenge is from Clean & Simple Stamping.

I found the sketch challenge first and then decided on the colour challenge.  Next came the stamp set to use.  I knew exactly what I wanted to achieve and needed just the right stamp set to accomplish it.  I love clean and simple cards and enjoy making them, but don't do it enough.

Starting with a little math and using Post-it notes I masked off the top and middle where the sentiment would go.  Next, again using the Post-it notes I started with the individual lines.  Each line is 3/4" wide with a small space between them.  I inked up my stamp set starting with the lightest colour first and then randomly added the additional colours.  Once the area had been stamped I then coloured in the area with a sponge.

Once I had all the stamping and sponging done I removed the masked area for the sentiment and using the Stamp-a-ma-jig I stamped the Sentiment.

 

The inside of the card has the same stamp used just across the bottom corner but with no sponging.

I have not taken part in either of these challenge sites before so I hope that I have done them both justice.  

Thanks for stopping by.
