less is more: spots and stripes

I love this week's challenge at less is more it's one layer week AND spots and stripes.

I've made my spots and stripes without any stamps. I masked of areas for the stripes and dragged an ink pad along them. I then created the spots just using the eraser end of a pencil and the same ink pads.


I've finished with a simple sentiment stamp from PaperArtsy
