A warm welcome to our first challenge of 2024 at We Love Stamping, with a fresh approach to monthly challenges.
This year the Design Team will all be selecting a monthly option to reflect their own individual style of crafting or favourite themes. On the remaining months we will continue as before with a general theme, along with the AG option as previously.
Our rules remain the same and entries must have at least one stamped element to be eligible. We are always on the look out for stamping Guest Designers, those interested in being considered please add GD when entering.
This month Mervi has selected the theme which is....
Something New - or Anything Goes
3 prizes of stamp sets from Stampendous
Welcome, and I wish you all the best of years.
This card is one I have had on my mind for a while, and made a few weeks agon, but with moving, and then being out of town on holiday, now it the time to share it.

The stamps are all from Uniko - both from their Mid Century Modern range.
Although I received them a while back, this is their first outing

The sentiment frame was stamped first, using this set , and was then masked.

I then stamped the Linear Background twice, which needed some more masking.
The border of the frame was filled in with a silver pen, then two aquas and two browns in pencil filled random spaces in the background, before brightening up the card by mounting that panel onto an orange base.

I used geometric washi on the inside of the card, and also on the envelope:
I was pleased with the retro, masculine 'feel' to this card.

WOW! Such a creative card. Love the modern vibes!
ReplyDeleteLove simplicity in a card and retro at that. Wonderful! The extra retro touches on the envelope and inside the card is perfect.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings
Great style and perfectly designed, gorgeous in colour combo as well x
ReplyDeleteOoh, I do like this card. What fab stamps you have used - and how well you have used them. I must go and see the stamps themselves as they are so useful for so many things (and also male cards which are often difficult).
ReplyDeleteI really love this card so much.
Blessings, Neet xx
