This week’s Global Design Project is a theme challenge: dots & circles. The Watercolor Shapes Stamp Set came to mind, and I began stamping all shades of yellow on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, using the two round stamps.

Dots & Circles

The larger circles are Pumpkin Pie Daffodil Delight, and Mango Melody, and the smaller circles are Crushed Curry, Bumblebee, and So Saffron.

As I was stamping, I realized this could be #simplestamping. What is #simplestamping? It’s card making that minimizes the supplies, and difficulty, making it perfect for those new to card making. All that is needed is stamps, ink, paper, and some glue.

After stamping the circles, I stamped a dandelion from the Garden Wishes Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink.  This stamp set also has the flying seeds, providing all the little dots needed for our theme.

Prior to gluing the simply stamped layer to the Basic Black card base (8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″) I stamped the sentiment, “Wishing you all the best,” also from the Garden Wishes Stamp Set. Wishing and birthdays go together, so it will probably be a birthday card.

Now that I’ve completed my #simplestamping card, I’m itching to make a “stepped up” version. Come back Wednesday to see what develops.

But for now, click here to see what the other designers created with dot & circles. Hopefully, you will be inspired, and hang your creation in our gallery.
