This week's Pals Paper Arts Challenge is KISS -- Keep It Simple, Sweetie. This card was definitely simple (and fun) to make! The base is Cameo Coral card stock, stamped all over with the long-stem flower from the Of the Earth Hostess Set in Versa Mark ink.
Then I took a piece of Bermuda Bay textured card stock and a piece of Whisper White card stock and ran each through my handy dandy Big Shot using the Top Note die. I stamped the long-stemmed flower three times onto the Whisper White layer, added the butterfly from the same set three times (NOT reinking between stamping), and a greeting from my Sincere Salutations set. All were stamped in Rich Razzleberry. A bit of sponging in Bermuda Bay created the sky.
The Whisper White layer then got a second run through the Big Shot with a background Texturz plate for some fun texture. Then the two layers were mounted (off-set) with Stampin' Dimensionals and I punched one corner with a corner rounder. Done!
Cheers,
Pia
