Clean & Simple Delicate Doilies Card

Pin It
Hey y'all. Happy Humpday! We're on the downhill towards the weekend. YEA!

Today's card is another one that I made almost a month ago for my 2 weeks off from stamping to spend time with my bestie while he was here for class. Hard to believe how far ahead I got with projects. Now if I could just have another weekend of nothing but stamp time I could get a whole bunch more instead of doing them a day or two at a time. *SMH* (:

For those of you that know me, or have been following me for a while, you know these truths-
1- I almost never do truly Clean and Simple cards. Not that my cards are all frou-frou or fussy, but when it comes to C&S I will often go for Quick and Easy which is similar but maybe just a tad more involved.
2- One layer cards on my blog and in my stash are like the Sasquatch or Yetti- I want them to be there but they're just not. (I think there's only two or three here up to this point)
3- I keep saying I'm going to try and do more, but so far it just hasn't really happened. Heck, it's all I can do to get MDS Mondays, End of the Week Technique and a Challenge in each week. I don't want to assign the C&S title to any one day, because I'd feel like a failure if I didn't manage to get something "post-able" by that day. Silly, I know, but that's part of the OCD in me. :(

That being said- I have a new Clean and Simple card for you today. It's one layer (Hush now, I counted the fabric as an embellishment and not a layer. Hey it's my blog, I get to make up the rules. Right?) and I think it's kind of cute.

Here's today's card-

Delicate Doilies Clean and Simple Card

This card is also a departure for me in that it's all pink.

GAH!

I used the Delicate Doilies stamp set and using 3 different shades of pink, I randomly (augh, I hate doing that!) stamped three of the images from the set onto my c/s. Here again, I wish I could tell you which c/s and which inks but it was a month ago and I just can't remember. :( Bad Shan!

Next, I tore a strip of fabric from the Flirtatious Fabric pack, wrapped it around my card and knotted it off.

Ok, y'all- did you catch the whole "I tore a strip"! Yes, I did. That's a first for this blog and for my cards. I made this card during an afternoon of stamping with my daughter J, and my stamping buddy April. You can not imagine how much fun they had at my expense while I stressed over tearing that Darn fabric! Oh the Scaredy Cat and OCD in me was a Pure HOT MESS, over that tearing, let me just assure you! But, I did it! Yea Me!

Here's the inside-

Although it's hard to see in the picture, because of the tone-on-tone stamping, I used 2 of the stamps from the front to stamp the inside of my card. I used the sentiment from Everyday Elegance. I know it's retired, but I don't have a lot of sentiment stamp sets and I just love the font. It makes me smile just to look at it.

Well, that's all I have for you today. A quick post for a quick Clean and Simple Card. I hope you liked it and I hope it inspires you to try something you don't normally do today.

If you liked it, I hope you'll leave me a comment. I love hearing from you! Also, if you liked it, please feel free to +1 it or Pin it. I've put the buttons on my sidebar for your convenience. Friends and Followers are also welcomed. :)

I hope to see you back tomorrow for another card. Don't forget the End of the Week Technique is still to come.

Till next time-
