With clean and simple cards, there is not much room for error. Everything has to be spot-on. What pressure, right? But I love to create them. The challenge is there each and every time.
I created this card for the My Favorite Things 2017 Card Design Superstar -Clean and Simple Genius Category. I started with a lovely, neutral card base of Sno-Cone Cardstock, something other than the standard white. I have this thing for stacked animals, I think they are rather cute, and the faces on these kitties from Cool Cat just seem to say "stack me." I stamped and masked, then colored with Copics and fussy cut the cat teepee out. They each got a glossy heart affixed to them Beast Friends and Top Dog (retired)). I finished the card with a "Hugs" from the layered Twice the Hugs Die-namics and a stamped sentiment from Lots of Hugs Stamp Set.
Awesome card, Karen! ;o) I really love the cute cats on the light blue background! ;o) Happy crafting, Maike

ReplyDeleteOMGSH Karen, I LOVE this card! I have these stamps and never thought of such an adorable way to use them! The middle kitty looks like my Mr. Bilbo Baggins - and having them holding hearts is precious! Excellent work (consider it stamp-lifted!). Hugs!!
