Clean and Simple Lilac Just Breathe

The second card that I made for the Mod Squad Clean and Simple card Challenge uses a large sentiment from STAMPLORATIONS: "Just Breathe." I love this sentiment because life can become super stressful and I need to remember to take a minute to "Just Breathe" and sometimes do some deep breathing techniques to deal with the stress.

I used various shades of pink and purple dye inks includeing "Lilac" which is listed as the spotlight color for this ModSquad challenge. The inks are from Prima Marketing's Color Philosophy Collection. These magnetic stacking ink pads save on space. No more hard to stack ink pads!

Behind the "just Breathe" sentiments you can see what looks like water color marks, but I used stamps from the Brutus Monroe set: "Abstract Art." I mounted the water color card panel (Canson Cold Press) on a card panel made from Aubergiene Card Stock from Brutus Monroe.

I made one more card in a similar style - but did not enter this card into the challenge:

Clean and Simple "Well Done"

Card Making Challenge

"The Mod Squad Challenge" at http://modsquadchallenge.com/

I made two cards for this week's challenge. The theme is "Clean and Simple (CAS)" cards. The Well is a stamp from Stamplorations. I used black archival ink and Arteza Real Brush Markers to stamp and color this image. I like this image and hopefully there is enough "white space" to make this card clean and simple enough for the challenge this week. I used white water color paper (Canson Cold Press) and mounted the panel onto a red card base. Finally, I had a stamp set from Simon Says Stamps that included a small sentiment "Well Done" from the Uplifting Sentiments stamp set. Love that the sentiment matches the stamp!

This is a wishing well so make a wish!
