The Stampotique Designers Challenge this week is a non-Stampotique stamp week, which means you don't have to use their stamps if you don't want to. As I only possess one together with some stamped images given to me by a very generous crafter, this challenge is 'up my street'.
Having said that, the theme
Clean and Simple proved harder than I thought and my little card took me 2 days to do!!!!
I used a 6"x6" white card base and stamped the swirl with Archival black. The image is so clear from the La Blanche stamps. I then stamped Dream, again in black Archival, let it dry a few seconds before using a water brush to colour over it with weathered wood DI. Three black gems in the corner and job done.
I really like the effect of this simple look despite my pondering - used to grungy and layering!! - and may just make some more.
Why not pop over to the Stampotique challenge blog and have a go yourself.

WOW this is brilliant and ohh you are so brave using a 6 x 6 card. I quite often use 4 x 4 for Clean and Simple.
Love Hazelxox
