simple texture

I've been dying to try this technique for quite some time. I just couldn't figure out which stamp set would work well with it. Betsy's Blossom turned out to be the one! 

First I stamped some flowers and leaves in the corners of a Whisper White rectangle. Then I ran that through the Big Shot in the Honeycomb Embossing Folder. 

I love the amazing texture and the fact that the card took me ten minutes to create!

Happy stamping!

Crisp and clean

They say that less is more. Sometimes I try to use this concept when designing cards. I have to admit, I have a hard time with it. I'm not sure if I'm just not confident enough in my design, or like it or not, I love cards with lots of stuff! In any case, I tried my hand at keeping things simple today. No ribbon, no sponging, no embellishments. Just clean lines, good design, and a little whimsy.

And you know what?  I have fallen in love with this design! Perhaps I've conquered my fear of "less"? Only time will tell…

Happy stamping!
