Some time ago, I posted a similar card to this and the technique of using post it notes as masking and applying distress ink is one I like!
This stamp is also one of my favourites. I have used it for everything from sympathy cards to birthdays - and now I've made a thank you card with it!
I used Spun Sugar and Weathered Wood distress inks and the stamp is from Elusive Images.
The thing about these cards is they can be made in a hurry (!) and are so versatile - they also look so pretty for their simplicity -(well most people's do anyway...LOL)if you've never tried the 'less is more, clean and simple' look, give it a try - promise you'll soon be hooked!
Pop over to the blog and have a look at some of the fab creations from last weeks challenge -there's also some fab tips on positioning and how to make your cards look stunning with minimum effort!
I am also entering this into the Totally Papercrafts 'Clean and Simple' challenge this week.

Hello Viv, lovely card, lovely music to accompany it - I was almost tempted to stay even longer because of it. I love your combination of inks so, like Chrissie, methinks Spun Sugar is now a 'must have'. Elizabeth x
Those color combos give the card such an ethereal look. I'm gonna try those together!
Well done on such an elegant but simple card xx
Really beautiful Viv, such an elegant card,

Congrats on being showcased over at Less is More -- awesome awesome card you made!!
Question on the recent Less is More card. Did you put a layer of velum over the distress ink. It looks so muted. Just hoping I can learn so I can create something as lovely!
Oops forgot to check the follow up box - looking forward to learning more!
