Challenge Accepted!

Thank you, for stopping by.  If you follow my Facebook or Instagram, you would have seen the December Challenge issued by Stampin’ Up!  

Using only 1 stamp set, 1 ink and note cards you are to share your creations using #simplestamping.  I decided to give it a try.  I mean it’s supposed to be simple, right?  

I found it to be much more difficult than anticipated, at least when it came to sticking to the 1:1:1 rule.  I really wanted to add an additional colour, or layer or embellishments.  In the end, here’s what I came up with:

I’m quite happy with the result.  I used a blender pen to colour in the beautiful hibiscus from the new Humming Along stamp set available January 3 in the new Occasions Catalogue.  I used circular strokes so it added dimension without going outside the parameters of the challenge.  Everything is done in the beautiful Highland Heather.  

If you haven't received a copy of the Occasions catalogue and live in Canada, please send me a note with your address and I'll be sure to get a catalogue to you.
