Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Mary and I will pick a theme…this month it is “Designer Paper”, and we each create a simple card every Tuesday in October using that theme!

BEST WITCHES

I think this set’s style of stamp images is just darling…and we’ve had several stamp sets done by this artist!  This is one of my favorites, though!  I created a super simple card using one of the “minor” images from Best Witches!

 

Stampin’ Details:

  • Base is 4-1/4 x 11 Parakeet Party cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was adhered on top.
  • A 1 x 4 piece of striped pattern Black & White Designs DSP was colored with the Dark Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends and adhered to the bottom.
  • A 1/4 x 4 strip of Basic Black cardstock was added along the top.
  • The little frog from Best Witches stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with the Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Combo.  It was hand-cut and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting from Best Witches was stamped with Memento Black Ink above the frog.
  • A trio of Classic Matte Dots in Black were randomly added to the background.

 

How fun is that little frog?  Make sure to check out Mary’s designer paper card over on Create with Connie and Mary!
