Sometimes keeping it simple is best
I dont know about you but sometimes I want to create a card with minimal effort and not much fuss, one of the ways I do this is to use a large stamp, which will cover most of my card and then add a little colour and a sentiment that packs a punch.
I decided to use Altenew's Courageous you stamp as it is huge and I love the simple outline design. I stamped onto Neenah solar crest in black ink and added some very simple hot pink flicks of ink with my alcohol markers. I really do love how striking this look is.
I stamped a sentiment onto some Neenah and cut it out using the Featured sentiments die, I also cut a mat for the sentimetn to sit on using one of the large mats from the die set.
I placed the stamped panel onto some teal cardstock and then onto an 2 note card, again keeping the style and colour palette simple.
