I wanted to use the colors in the Confetti Wishes paper pack: Canary, Pacifica, Thistle and Lagoon.  And I knew I wanted to do random stamping.  I was inspired by this card on Pinterest. So I masked off the edges of my card base with some washi tape and stamped the different images.  I also used some masks made out of copy paper to cover up the Pacifica images before went on with the other colors. 

After I removed the washi tape I stamped the "A Happy Hello!" sentiment and then added a black line around the stamped image using my ruler and Marvy Uchida LePen Journaling Pen.  This card is one layer and clean and simple.  I had to hold myself back from not using any bling or other embellishments.

Here is another version of the same card.  This time I cut out the random stamped area and backed it with some Thistle to make it stand out.  

This is my first time participating in a Blog Hop so I hope you'll leave a little comment below as well as comment on all the other beautiful artwork along the hop.  Now "Hop" on over to Katie Hessel's Blog to see her work!
