YNS Challenge #147: Keep It Clean

/

The new challenge at Your Next Stamp is ‘Keep it Clean’. Now I’m sure some of you are jumping for joy and others are squirming in their seats. Admittedly keeping it clean requires a little thought on my part. If you’re squirming then this is a great challenge to step outside your crafty comfort zone, play around with something new and “challenge” yourself. If you need a little inspiration to kick start your creativity then the rest of the design team has come up with some awesome ideas which you can see at YNS Challenge Post.

Get the Look:

  • Although a simple card to pull together, with a just a few steps, getting those steps and details right is what makes a CAS card shine. I am horizon challenged which basically means I suck at keeping things straight. So my t-ruler and post it tape is my best friend.

  • Colour one of the gnomes from the Happy Gnomes stamp set and either fussy cut or use dies to cut him out.

  • Measure 1” from the top, 1 3/4” up from bottom and 1 1/4” in from each side of the card base, placing post it tape along those lines to make a small rectangle window.

  • Using white pigment ink and a cloud stencil, create mini cloud background. I took my YNS Puffy Cloud Border Die and created a cardboard stencil.

  • Die cut a small hill with YNS Double Stitched Hills and then cut hill to the width of masked rectangle.

  • All that is left is to glue the elements onto the card base and stamping on a sentiment.
