Krista’s August Challenge…..

Over at Simply Creating, Krista challenged us to make a card/ layout using the card base ONLY and stamps….No embellies…No paper!!!! OK so that got my mind going…and I was off on an adventure!

I ordered the goodie box from CTMH the other day and received some stuff I don’t think I will EVER USE…ah ha, I thought, I can use these Level 1 CTMH base pages as cards :-) So here are my first attempts at Krista’s Challenge

021 020

These were done with kraft CS and CTMH Free Spirit and Card Commentary SS and Tulip Ink!!!!

SO I challenge you ALL you make a card or Layout that meets Krista’s challenge. Base card/page only and stamps. It was a TON of fun! If you do make a card let me know and go post a link on Krista’s site!!!

I hope you are all having a WONDERFUL Thursday!

Enjoy!

All of them are stunning! You know that's what I love about challenges, it really forces me to go way outside my zone sometimes. I think these are a perfect example of 'less is more'!
LOVE them...
Blessings,

Krista is my niece and I want to have a go at her challenge as well. I have an idea for a card, but am waiting for her to post her example before I make my card.

Krista Ritskes said...

Fabulous job! You're sneaky using base pages and level 1 pages. ;)

Alanna said...

How fun Sarah. I love all of these. Great job on the challenge.

You make everything look so easy. I have base pages and I wouldn't even know where to begin to cut to make them look as nice as yours. I love your stamp choices. Great job as usual!

Wow Sarah you've been a busy girl! It would take me days to come up with such awesome work! I love the simplicity of some of your cards. Sometimes I think that I need to overload them with this and that in order for them to look beautiful - thank you for reminding me that sometimes less is more! Awesome work!

Caryl P said...

These cards turned out absolutely amazing Sarah! Perfect to actually mail with a single stamp too. :-)
I'm loving the craft cards especially, I may need to try my hand at that!

Laurel said...

Geez louise you were really on a roll weren't you? Your mojo was in full effect! :O) They all turned out super cute!

There is something so elegant in simplicity. We use tons of papers, buttons, brads, and flowers, when sometimes all we really need is a stamp and ink. These are gorgeous!!
