Wow, I love clean and simple cards but sometimes struggle with the process of creating one. I always think that maybe it needs more here, more there. Clean and simple is not always simple but using the right kind of stamps and paper sure helps.
This week, on the Simon Says Challenge blog, we are challenging you to create a clean and simple card. Remember less is sometimes more.
For my card, I used stamps from Lawn Fawn. Lawn Fawn's simple and bold illustrations are perfect for the clean and simple look. I stamped the airplane stamp on white cardstock and then colored it in with Copic Markers and cut it out.
Look for it in the July issue!
Paper choice is another thing to consider when creating a clean and simple card. The bold patterns of the Echo Parks Hello Summer papers are great for this look. Just to add a little interest to my card, I die cut some clouds out of felt from a die by Memory Box called Puffy Clouds and added a colored brad to my banner from the Hello Summer collection. The sentiment is part of the Lawn Fawn stamp set. You can find all of the supplies that I used in my card in the links below.
Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget that all you need to do is make one card, post it to your blog or online photo gallery, and link it up to the challenge post here. You could be that lucky participant that will win a $50 gift certificate to the Simon Says Stamp Online store. I hope to see your card in our line up!
