AAA Cards | Game #128

What is the simplest Clean and Simple card recipe?

When the Holiday Season is approaching quickly we are all looking for effortless techniques for making pretty greeting cards.
Hello Everybody!

Today I am sharing a friendship card's recipe which can be applied for any occasion.

This card is inspired by AAA Cards Challenge #128 and we challenge you to make a card about moving or movement.
For my today's card I used Pink and Main SEWING Clear Stamps ( SSS | PNK ).
I simply stamped one image three times in black alcohol friendly ink and coloured the impressions with Copic Sketch markers.

I used the following markers: YR15-18, E19-23-25, B34-45.

I used a light blue card note, stamped smaller images down to it in a dye ink matching the colour of the card stock and coloured some of the images with Polychromos pencils.
To finish off my card I foam mounted the panel to the card base and added dots with Ranger Stickles ( SSS | AMZUS ) around the spools.

Recipe for This Card:


  • pick a medium sized image and stamp it down three times
  • colour the impressions almost flat
  • match the colour of one the images to the card note
  • colour the other two images with complimentary colour
  • stamp smaller images down to the card base
  • colour the images selectively in complimentary colour
