Sharon Johnson has come up with another great Stamp Simply challenge for this week! The challenge is black ink only! No colored pencils, no markers, no chalks, no other inks... just black! Think you can do it? C'mon... give it a try!
For my card, I pulled out my fun Ducky Days stamps from Our Craft Lounge again to create my sunshine card! I just love this little half-sun image, and thought a whole row of them would be very cheery! There's also a whole sun image in the set, and you can see here that I stamped it on my yellow polka dot cardstock to peek out from the inside, too!
The rest of the Stamp Simply team members have gotten pretty creative with their black ink only cards today, so be sure to check them all out, starting with Sharon's great sample on her blog!
