Timeless Tuesday #260 ~ < = >!

Less = More! What does that mean, you ask? Well, simply create a card with a stamped image, but NO coloring! That's not easy for a crafter that loves color! So I resorted to a recent video, that My friend Judy, mention on her blog. It was for Double stamping. So that is what I did here. When you use clear stamps, it is easy. Just ink up a clean stamp and stamp onto paper, clean it again and use another color and stamp again.





I used GKD chocolate brown and ivory CS for the base, layered some DP from WeR Memory Keepers Anthologie pack. I double stamped the image from Flourishes Chrysthamums, with Grass Green, Sweet corn, and Sweet Mango onto a panel of white and layered on to Chocolate. The "Hello" die is from Simon Says Stamps. I love the simple hand writing of this die. Some buttons and gingham ribbon added for more color. But NO coloring!

Thanks so much for your comments!

  1. It's beautiful! I like this look but alas, even with a clear stamp my eyesight is not too great so it is still hard for me to align up things. Perhaps I should use a stamp positioner but got so used to eyeballing it, and never thought that I would eventually be partially blind in one eye. Thanks for sharing! Hope your have a great day!
