You can do it!

I have a fun and quick card to share with you today.


The inspiration for this card came from this week's LIM challenge, which challenges us to use a real object on our cards, and the warm-up challenge of this year's SAF event at the PTI blog. There were several photographs and colour combos that appealed to me, but I settled on the black and white deliciousness of the following photograph.


It was the office/school/stationary supplies that triggered me to tear a sheet from one of my small notepads (I have one at my desk, one in my craft room and usually one in my handbag) fold it in half and add a few small staples. For my little note, I used stamps from the Blue Skies set by PTI, and I used one of the borders from PTI's Ombre Builders set to stamp a border to the left and right side of my cardbase.

Challenges:

PTI SAF 2017 - Warm-up challenge

                          

LIM - #343 Use a real object


SSS Monday - School or study related

Today also marks the start of a new episode 
of Kathy Racoosin's 30-day colouring challenge,
so I'm also sharing my card at her blog.

    Fun, neat, and so clever. Love your monochromatic theme which really pops and a brilliant take on our 'real object' challenge. So inspired by all these creations this week and thanks for joining us at Less is More this week.

    Great use of your folded note paper and the staples. Love the offset angles too.
