Today is the start of the weekly challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz, a blog I own,

I am so privelaged to have an amazing Design Team, please do pop 

over to see their creations for the new challenge, which is

Clean and Simple.

For my card, I used a 5" square card. 

I stamped LOTV - Playing Golf onto white card.

Coloured the image with Promarkers. I then cut it out, leaving a 

small white edge all round the image, which was then adhered

to the body of the card with 3d foam pads. 

I made a banner, stamped a greeting and added faux stitching.

I hope you like it and have enjoyed visiting me. 

Minimal cards for TIOT

This week at Try It On Tuesday we are returning to making a card. The clean and simple style has become very popular, so we are challenging you to make a MINIMAL card. At a recent card class I run, we tackled one of the diffficult cards we all dread making, Sympathy and Thinking of You cards. From one dark green A4 (UK) card, here are two cards I made. They are the same in size and style, only the stamps are different. The first cArd I used for the background a fantastic background stamp from Anita's, it is so versatile. I used TH Distress ink Peeled Paint for all of the stamps used. The daisies are from Sheena Douglas. The second card, I created the background using a piece of Christmas Sequin waste, secured it to the card, then with a piece of cut and dry foam, I stencilled through to achieve the strip of stars.  the stamp is again a favourite of mine, the agapanthus which looks so calm and serene. i do hope you like my two samples. I look forward to visiting you this week, hoping you will enjoy the relaxation of making, if not a simple card, then certainly a minimal card. Good luck and enjoy.
