All the Good Things for a Simple As You See It Challenge & 2nd Release SAB Rewards


Our newest As You See It Challenge is a Fill In the Blank Challenge called Simple is As Simple Does, where you are given an unfinished sentence and you fill in the blank with a word or phrase and then you use that word or phrase to guide the making of your project. Here is As You See It Challenge #194's Banner:



And the way I filled in the blank was, "When I think SIMPLE, I think of lots of white, few colours and a simple image.  An image like the bonsai tree in the All the Good Things stamp set. And here's what that looks like to me:


  • The first thing you notice is the image of the bonsai tree from the All the Good Things stamp set from the Annual Catalogue. The image and the sentiment are all one stamp so I had to be very careful when I inked it up with both Soft Sea Foam ink and Memento Tuxedo Black ink. That procedure might not be termed simple, although it looks simple on the page. There are a couple of ways to make it easier. First, it would be fairly easy to trim the sentiment from the image and make two stamps. Then it's a piece of cake to ink them up in two different colours. 
  • But if you think it's a sacrilege to cut up a stamp, then you could use the Stamparatus and ink up the image first in the Soft Sea Foam and stamp the image. Then you would clean the stamp and ink up the sentiment carefully, cleaning off any ink you get on the image portion of the stamp before stamping the sentiment below. You would take care not to move either the stamp or the paper in the Stamparatus in between the two inkings.
  • The Whisper White cardstock is mounted on some Designer Paper from the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series in the Annual Catalogue.
  • The Silver & Petal Pink Baker's Twine is wrapped twice around these panels and tied in a small bow before they are adhered to the Petal Pink card base. Simple, but so pretty!
