It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players! The multi-talented Nance, is our lovely hostess this week and she wants us to create a "Clean and Simple" card using leaves! Fall's beautiful array of colors are magnificent and we can't wait to see what you create!
My base card is white. I cut the top layer with the SugarPea Designs--Zig Zag Design Dies using watercolor paper. The Vintage Leaves-Stampin' Up! stamp set was used. I masked some of the leaves when I changed colors to add dimension.
The sentiment is from Verve Stamp--Every Season Plain Jane. I stamped it in vintage Versa Fine Ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I absolutely love this sentiment! I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp from Stampin' Up to add some grunge. This card was very easy to make, but I think it speaks volumes. Clean and Simple is always difficult for me, but I am happy with the outcome.
So happy you stopped by my blog today! Please leave a message! I love to hear from you!
Don't forget to check out the fabulous inspirations from our design team and I hope that you will play along with our challenge this week.

ReplyDeleteSo pretty Claire! The colors are perfect for fall and I love the zig zag border. Perfect CAS card! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Claire! You are right - sometimes simple speaks volumes - and this one does! I struggle to keep it simple sweetie - KISS :) - but usually love the results if I can restrain. I love your sentiment and the way you layered your leaves in those beautiful colors and then finished it beautifully with the ever amazing gorgeous grunge! Bravo on a beautiful card - again! :)
