AAA Cards ~ Challenge #312

For me, I appreciate the calm and quiet of crafting, especially when making clean and simple cards. It's time for a new clean and simple challenge at AAA Cards. Our challenge for the next two weeks is 


We're following Jane's lead. Here's her card.


Here's my card


I focused on a colourful vertical strip, slightly to the left of the card and a large black "hi" sentiment placed over the colourful strip, slightly below the center of the card. My card is slightly smaller than A2 because the stencil I used wasn't "tall" enough. The finished card is 4" x 5 1/8". I started with a white A2 card panel and STAMPlorations Bloomdalascopic #2 stencil. I masked off some areas and added colour with distress inks - picked raspberry, wilted violet, mustard seed, mowed lawn applied with mini ink blending brushes. I trimmed the panel and matted with black cardstock. For the sentiment, I used Concord & 9th's Brightside Blooms die that I received as part of Concord & 9th's Winter Retreat 2026 kit and some black cardstock. I glued the letters to the panel. To complete my card, I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base and then trimmed it to a 4" x 5 1/8" card.

We'd love to see how you're inspired by Jane's card in our gallery.
