Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I am delighted to be taking part in the Ink and Inspiration blog hop for August. The theme this month is Clean & Simple and I have chosen to feaure the Whimsy & Wonder Suite from the July-December Mini Catalogue.
I have to admit that I am a little out of my comfort zone with creating a clean & simple card - I know that the simple refers to the make up of the card, but I find them anything but simple and I always want to add more! I've made a card I'm happy with, although there was a voice in my head repeatedly saying clean & simple! I reined myself in, resisted the temptation to add more layers and refrained from adding ribbons and gems.
My mission to be organised for Christmas has faltered a little, so to address that I have chosen to use the Whimsy & Wonder Suite for my card. The designer series paper I picked is delicately printed with Mint Macaron trees, has flecks of silver and plenty of white space. Staying with the white, silver Mint Macaron colour scheme, I die cut a trio of trees to add to the snowy slope. The lower portion of the card is embossed using the Wintry snowflake folder and the sentiment is silver heat embossed.
I hope that you are inspired by my card today and that you will continue along the hop to see what the others have created too - click on the names below to enjoy their projects. We would love to hear from you and so if you have been inspired, please leave a comment.
