Sit Back

I think I've only missed a couple of Fashionable Stamping challenges since it started but when I saw the new challenge I nearly decided to miss this one out, it's so not my genre, I don't do clean and I don't do simple! but hey ho that's what challenges are all about isn't it?  The other thing I don't do is straight and you would not believe how difficult I found it to even stick post it notes in a straight line to mask out the centre bit !  I have seen a lot of cards recently with the coloured strip across the centre so thought I'd give it a go, I used pan pastels which was maybe not the wisest thing to do as I ended up with dusty bits on the white but they came off easy enough with the eraser, anyhow this is my version of clean and simple one layer ( the dark surround is just the piece of card I used to scan it on)

    Hello Joan
    I know where you are coming from re the CAS genre I am with you all the way, but I can do straight...Ha
    Your card is lovely, and would appeal to all the CAS people out there,and I am also aware it is not as easy as it looks, minimum does not equal easy that is such a fallacy.

    Beautiful Joan everything looks Clean but definitely not Simple. Your coloured strip looks very straight to me in fact the whole card looks so neat and simplistic. Adorable.

    Thank you for sharing with us at Fashionable Stamping Challenges.
