Hi
Again Stampers!!
I
think I am starting to feel more comfortable with Clean and Simple (CAS) cards :-) I do like the fact that I can create them within a few minutes (versus sometimes hours for
my vintage/shabby chic cards although I still like to "de-stress"-lol!! :-) )
Here
is another very quick card that I created using the PP205 Clean and SimpleMonochromatic Challenge. It seems that the CAS challenges are plentiful right now- perfect for our busy summer lives :-)
If
you have not visited the Paper Players site yet- check out the fabulous Design
Team and Guest Designers (plus the great gallery of entries)- wonderful ideas
from all!
To create this CAS card:
Ink
the medallion using Island Indigo Classic Ink onto Whisper White
cardstock. Lightly sponge Coastal Cabana
Classic Ink within the center using a Sponge Dauber.
Ink
the floral stamp using Island Indigo Classic Ink and mask a bit of the
medallion to stamp the flower within the center, “huff” on the stamp to
re-moisten the ink and mask again at the top corner and stamp the image once
more.
Stamp
the sentiment at the lower corner using Island Indigo Classic Ink and trim the
panel to 3 ¾” x 5”.
Using
the retired Color Spritzer Tool with the Island Indigo Stampin’ Write marker,
add a bit of spritzing to the card front.
Mount
the panel onto a piece of Island Indigo cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece
of Coastal Cabana cardstock, trim and mount onto the Whisper White card base.
Stamp
the butterflies using Island Indigo Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock
and punch out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch.
Adhere the butterflies to the card front (I
have been using Hot Glue to adhere embellishments and butterflies lately- had not used my Hot Glue Gun for years and thought, why not???).
Add
two Pearls near the sentiment to finish off the card. Quick
and easy!!
