Less Is More: a CAS thank you card

CAS? It stands for ‘Clean And Simple’ and refers to a card that has plenty of whitespace around the elements. Ideally a one layer, no embellishment type of card, it is perfect for the Less Is More challenge site. And it usually is anything but simple to make. This time, the theme is ‘more’ – we did ‘less’ last time. Here’s my take on the challenge:

This was my second attempt – the first was too uniform and I got the spacing wrong. That’s one problem with working on only one layer – it doesn’t take much to muck it up and have to start all over again. I used a stamp positioner to get my stamps lined up, especially as I rotated them 90° for each impression. I’m a bit rusty on its use and had to practice to master the technique again. The flower stamp does fit the background stamp exactly, and I think I have proved I can in the first two, but then I decided that it would be nice (and easier) to have the offset.
