Simplicity Sunday - A Simple Card by Dot

Welcome to Simplicity Sunday.
Today I've a very simple card to share with you.


I've used the Dancing Woman stamp as the main piece for this one.
Firstly I've blended some Iced Spruce Distress Ink onto some scrap cardstock and made sure it was thoroughly dry. I dabbed an anti-static pad over it and stamped the image with Versamark ink and then added white embossing powder.  Heating it to melt the EP.

To make the lady stand out a little more I've blended some Black Soot around the edges before cutting it out. I matted this onto white, then black card.

For the larger background I've used the Textured Flowers stamp set.  I coloured some scrap card with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink, stamped some flowers and cut them out.  The background has some circles from this set randomly stamped onto the card.

To finish all you need to do is attach the centre piece and the flowers! Oh, and I added a little black shading around the lady with a black fine liner.

Tip: I've cut a couple of the flowers so that they sit on the edge of the white card.  I think this gives a lovely finish.

This card uses the colours (Lilac, Grey and Black) and theme (circles) from this month's challenge.
I hope that you like this card and have time to pop one of your creations into our challenge.

Thank you for looking.

Dot this is beautifully created you say it is simple but it really packs a big creative punch, with the elegant dancing woman. I love how you have introduced a touch of purple in opposite corners, very inspiring creation and I love it. Thank you for sharing.

Easel Card With Textured Flowers

Image
Hello.  Welcome.  Gail from the design team here today with a project using the new Textured Flowers stamps.  I loved these the moment I saw them.  Big beautiful blooms.  And many small er stamps for adding leaves and texture.   I decided to make a Twisted Easel Card.  There are many tutorials available but I used this one by Lois.  So here's my card using Textured Flowers and of course, a giraffe .......... I was inspired by the Rubber Dance challenge colours which for June are: I stamped the large simple daisy, masked and stamped two more.  I added the giraffe from African Animals .  I think I'll call her Daisy. I thought it looked a bit empty so I stamped more daisies...... and coloured with distress and d y e inks.  I stamped and embossed three of the doodled flowers and the giraffe, fussy cut and added them to my panel.  I used brads and a Cheery Lynn die cut for the flower centers.  I also doodled a little faux stitching

Rubber Dance has gained a following of stampers that love our Sarcasm Superpowers sentiment stamps. These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them! And this particular group of followers certainly do - not very surprisingly at all with a group name like theirs .... namely the  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (I know, right? Too darn cute!) These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop:
