I had today off so I played a little challenge catch up. I combined today's two challenges, although I'm not sure if it's possible to make a "clean" and simple card with Colorburst powders. But I will say I didn't make a mess with them this morning. My friend always asks me to make her a German birthday card for her brother who lives in Germany. She knows how excited I get to use my German stamps. While I was working on this I figured I would look through the challenges I missed this week and I came up with black and white and one color and used the sketch as well. Thanks for the inspiration, friends!

I remember how wonderful it was to get access to an electric typewriter to type up those essays and reports. A part of education I will never forget! Love your bright background. It really lets the sentiment stand out.

The bold green background is such a striking choice for this clean design, and the bubble‑wrap texture adds so much energy without overwhelming the layout. The typewriter image and crisp sentiment look fantastic against that vivid color, and your doodled accents pull everything together with a playful, personal touch.

I think powders are my favourite for bubble wrap, confirmed after using paint this week. Cute typewriter, and cool to have a use for your German stamps.
