Please Note: Today I have TWO blog posts, this one and the
{PIN}Spirational Challenges one that follows it. It is a really fun card, that incorporates a "found item" in its design. You won't want to miss it, so keep scrolling to my next blog post, too. ;)
When I found out that this week's Twisted Tuesday Challenge was going to be a "Back to the Basics" theme, I immediately knew I wanted to use one of my new Our Daily Bread stamps. They are stunning - all by themselves. They don't need a lot of embellishment, papers, etc.
Soooooooooooooo... here's what I made:
September 25 - October 1
Theme: Getting Back to the Basics
The Twist: There is NO twist this week.
Melina's idea behind this challenge is to remember how we used to create, before we had die cut machines, punches, etc. EEK! That was a while ago for some of us. But we can do this. REMEMBER WHEN...
And then have fun creating! Pretty simple idea. And fun, too!!!
Here's the inside of my card:
Image & Sentiment (these are separate stamps, but from the same set): Our Daily Bread Keep My Lamp Burning
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa
Cardstock: Paper Company Black and Stampin' UP! Soft Suede
Designer Paper: Paper Studio Country Red
Embellishment: Michael's Black Rhinestone

Very pretty--I love the theme of going back to the basics!
Beautiful card! I love the kraft and raspberry colors together.
You are right....great stamp. I like your layout in that you used so many layers. Great job!
beautiful card, from beginning to end...love its elegant simplicity...less can definetly be more;o)
Ahhh, I remember. It's great to get back to basics, isn't it? This card is an excellent example of how great cardmaking can be without loads of elements. Just let the artwork of the stamp stand alone. You've shown how to do that with this wonderful card!
