Just Playing with Artsy Tribal Doodles

Hi Crafty Friends!

Just a couple of cards today as a little reminder that STAMPlorations have a Never Ending Anything Goes Challenge on their blog.


I've been playing with one of their sets called Artsy Tribal Doodles and lots of colour. Artsy Tribal Doodles is a set of many possibilities ... borders, shapes, frames you name it.

I hadn't used it in a while and just went where curiosity took me with simple stamping, layering and adding my own doodles.

 
I used gems and sequins to finish my cards off.



That's it from me for now.  I hope you feel inspired to join STAMPlorations Anything Goes Challenge over on their blog.

Wishing you a lovely day!

hugs
Monika 💕

Wish Upon A Star

Hi Crafty Friends!

Just a quick card today as a little reminder that STAMPlorations have a Never Ending Anything Goes Challenge on their blog.


There are a few simple rules to follow all of which can be found here.


My card features one of STAMPlorations recent release sets called Layered Stars which is perfect for quick cards with as much or little colour as you like.

I've chosen a classic black-grey-yellows theme for my slimline card. The small outline stars from the
set were used to stamp the border.
The layers and border highlight the slimline shape. The focal point is the two tone yellow star balance through the placement of the black sentiment and the golden sequin to finish.


That's it from me for now. I shall be back with another reminder card soon.

Wishing you a lovely day!
