Today I am playing along with this week’s Krafty Chicks Challenge: Clean And Simple. I’ll admit I’m not very good at this design type. I love me some layers, some technique, something more. And when I do try my hand at it, it takes a good sketch and a bit of time trying out different colours, which stamp set to use, pop this or leave it flat, add a ribbon. Needless to say, I over complicate things.
I used the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch from a long time ago. They are currently on #516, and I used #180. I couldn’t scroll back that far to find it. When I find a sketch I like from a site, blog, Facebook post, or Pinterest, I screenshot it for future use. Hence this oldie but goodie sketch.
I knew I wanted to use this retired Dashing Along DSP because I have so much of it. I also used the retired Banner Die. Then I thought the layout was perfect to add the Moose Punch with a little bow. My Garden Green panel was too plain as a solid. I told you clean and simple is difficult for, didn’t I? So I had to stamp this perfect sized tree in the background a few times. The tree is from the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley. To complete my card, I laid everything on a Crumb Cake card base, which I had to control myself to keep it simple.
I really like the way it turned out. How about you?
