Stamp Simply “Break The Rules!”
Our challenge this week…was to break the rules and mix and match stripes or polka dots with another pattern! So I chose three patterned papers and went to town! OK…this is scary for me, because I tend to shy away from using too many papers on one card. Frankly…it scares me. I am a fairly clean/modern stamper, so this is a hard one for me. I got some inspiration though with the Websters Pages Pink Lemonade papers and went with it. I just looked at one of my new AMUSE stamps, and thought it would work well! I also pierced my paper with my sewing machine needle (no thread) for a fun and funky border. Let me know what you think!
So so you want to see other inspiring ideas today? Check the girls out and play along! Remember you can upload YOUR challenge card to Splitcoast Stampers! Use keyword ssnotime80

Your card is adorable. Love the great paper and the simple yet so great way it came together. Sewing with no thread is certainly a fast way to paper pierce, love that idea. Pat

Love the use of the sewing machine with no thread. Also love the LITTLE SKUNK in your previous post. My 5 year old granddaughter thinks that skunks are the cutest things. I’ve got to find a skunk stamp. She would love it. Have a blessed weekend and thanks for sharing your talents.
