Clean and Simple Cards - Day 4 & 5

Who invented this thing called work and why do we have to go there? It gets in the way of all the fun stuff...Yes, I am behind again on my homework!

So Day 4 was all about white space and making sure your card had a lot of it...Now happily, "white space" doesn't necessarily mean white - just blank space or "negative space" that can be any colour. It's fantastic how much this class is stretching my imagination!

I'm seriously loving white ink and white embossing lately. It makes magic! Especially white pigment ink because you can get a sort of shadow effect like in the top corner of this card where I didn't press as hard on the stamp.

Day 5 was about stretching a stamp 3 ways - making one stamp work hard for you! We were tasked with using a single stamp and finding 3 different ways to use it. I made 3 little 3x3 cards for this class. I've found little 3x3 envelopes at CTMH and they're my new favorite for dressing up a little card/tag.

I masked and sponged the heart, then added some glittery Stickles to this one...

I heat embossed the heart on red paper and then mounted it on a kraft card for this one...

And for the last one I used the heart as a background stamp!

I can't decide which one I like best? How about you?

Now I'm off the check out the Bonus Day for the class!! Gotta love a Bonus Day!!!
