Clean and simple at Stampotique
Guess who got to choose the theme for this challenge....
MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
so of course it had to be clean and simple (CAS)
I don't think I was the most popular person amongst the stampotique design team, as most of them don't normally do the CAS style, but I've been blown away by the results. It shows just what a talented bunch they are when they step outside their comfort zone and still create amazing work.
So let's see your CAS, cards, and they don't even have to be with Stampotique stamps for this challenge, but if you do have stampotique stamps why don't you see if you can make something Clean and Simple with them.
There's a bit of a story behind this card. Jo Capper-Sandon was still on the DT when this card was actually made, and coincidentally we both made our cards at the same time, uploading our pictures within 20 minutes of each other (without seeing each other's, but technically Jo's was first). Bear in mind, that all we had to go on was to use Stampotique stamps and to keep it clean and simple. The results were strikingly similar.... just goes to show you that two artists can produce practically identical work, entirely by coincidence!
go see what Jo did here

ReplyDeleteI'm still smiling thinking back to that afternoon we both uploaded the images! We must have felt the vibes cross country! lol (like those psychic events when people say guess what I'm drawing and they are usually drawing a house lol)
