OLW 60, That means Quick cards, just ink and stamp:0)

,Hello there, over at Simplicity, Susan has challenged us again, I love it :0)
OLW60 Rules

1. A one-layer card is just that: one layer of cardstock folded in half...no other layers of cardstock allowed!

2. Make a card that layers ink. USE ONLY STAMPED IMAGES AND/OR SENTIMENTS. No masking, no sponging, no embellishments of any kind!


Okay well I did it, 2 stamps 1 image/background stamp and a sentiment, rainbow ink pad, could have used different colours, pink blue purple and lemon and lime, yum yum, I love the happy colours.
Stamp Anitas, very, very old. No name on it at all, sorry:{
Ink Versa color 503 Limone, Sentiment Hero Arts, live life.

Then I made this one:0) With Marion Emberson Stamps, Just because that I bought from the Craft Barn
 I think this may be just a little too plain but I quite like it, it was certainly quick LOL





Hope you like folks:0)
I'm out for the day with the girls( my friends) tomorrow, yippee! Lots of giggling and silliness, can't wait. Hope you have some fun too, TTFN Gay x

Hi from coffee towers, I hope all is well with you:0)
I'm losing it with the internet or blogger or my computer, haven't been able to do anything at all so far today. Hey ho, patience Gay :{
Susan at Simplicity has challenged us to take inspiration from  a picture from Pinterest but you'll have to pop over to check out what it's like because I'm afraid I can't load it without freezing my computer:{


This is my offering, stamp by Blockheads.
One of my favourite sets but it's out of stock, if only for a couple of weeks. Calendulars, gorgeous flowers. Coloured with copics, sentiment PTI Signature Greetings,
I masked the bottom left corner as I wanted the image to fit the card.
