Dream Valley Challenge #70 Clean and Simple
Good afternoon, my lovelies! If you're looking for my post for The Squirrel and the Fox please scroll down to the previous post. Ta.
Today at Dream Valley Challenges we have a theme that I found - well, challenging! But that's what it's all about, isn't it?! our theme is Clean and Simple
Our lovely sponsor this time is Crafty Ribbons - oh my word, their website is full of the most delectable ribbons and lace that you can imagine! You have to go and see!!!
Ok, so. Clean and Simple. It's ironic that this kind of card takes me a long time to work out! I chucked three previous versions of this card because the stamping was blurred or there was a ruddy great fingerprint in the middle - oops!
The stamps are from a set by Clearly Besotted called You Are. I stamped the solid flower in Dark Peony Color Box Chalk ink, and the centre in Yellow Ochre. I masked the flowers and stamped the rest in memento Tuxedo Black, which I coloured in lightly with pink and yellow coloured pencils. The sentiment is from the Penny Black 'Gratitude' set. The bakers' twine is held in place by tiny niches cut on the top edge of the card, and with Glossy Accents behind the bow to secure it.
The design is meant to remind the recipient of walking in Sheringham Park in Norfolk, between massive banks of gorgeous rhododendron bushes! Well worth a visit, if you're in the area!
Do stroll by Dream Valley and be amazed by my teamies' beautiful work! Then get your thinking caps on, and join in with your own CAS design! it doesn't have to be a card!
Thanks for looking!
