Do you remember what it's like to be a beginning stamper and wondering how in the world to create a card with just the basics? Create a card using just stamps, inks and paper that will win over beginner and advanced stampers alike!
For some reason, this one was the hardest challenge for me! I have been so spoiled by all of the embellishments, punches and Big Shot dies and embossing folders that we now have, I find it almost IMPOSSIBLE to not include at least one of those things on a card! I decided to make a simple card that could be stepped up with embellishments, etc.
I love the triple-stamped cards I have been seeing, but sometimes it is almost too much and difficult to include a sentiment. I decided to do a similar one-layer stamped card with my favorite stamp set from the current catalog, Everything Eleanor. This allowed me a nice white space in the middle for my sentiment. This is a simple card but it could easily be stepped up with some pearls, rhinestones or Dazzling Details on some of those flowers! If I was stepping it up, I would also include some ribbon and cut-out flowers popped up on Dimensionals. I might just have to add to it and see what you think!

This is beautiful. Love the simplicity and the white space. Triple Time Stamping is a great technique for the beginner as well as for the advanced stamper!
