Hello. Welcome. Whilst visiting around the blogosphere yesterday I came across Freshly Made Sketches, who have a slightly different take on the clean and simple genre. They just want clean. Now, of the two, the clean element is the one I struggle with. When pushed, I term my style simple, rarely clean, so I thought this would be a good one to try. And I liked the sketch. So here's my idea
I wanted to use this Unity stamp and sentiment from the Call me I'll Laugh at You set. So searched my pp stash for a paper with telephones on it. Nuffink!! Then I decided to stamp my own. DIY time. I used various Colorbox inks and repeatedly stamped the telephone on white paper. I cut a Cheery Lynn English Teaparty Doily and angel wing and also found some pretty pp that coordinated. I added a piece of purple glitter tape and stamped the sentiment on a round of card. I also made a shrink plastic telephone using the same telephone stamp. Ain't it cute.
