Birthday Spots & Stripes

Hi, I thought I'd have a try at a one layer card. A couple of challenges inspired me.

Over at Less is More the one layer card needs to have stripes and spots. I've had these Papertrey Ink basic circle stamps for ages and never used them. That's one of the things I'm really enjoying with challenges, that I'm finally using more of my stash!

The inspiration for the colour came from the One Layer Wednesday  Challenge. Ardyth is hosting this week's challenge and the colours are orange, green and white.

I darkened the colour on some of the circles by adding more ink using nibs from Ranger. First time I've used them too!

Thanks for looking :)

    Oh marvelous card!! Such a perfect stamp set for this challenge and double fun that it saw ink for the first time.

    I see the subtle shading, really nice.

    TFS,
    Carole
