Clean and Simple

It's taken me ages to realise that this is the kind of card I am happiest making. Having said that I do enjoy messing around with other techniques as well and I think I'll pop another card I made earlier today, where I got really messy, at the bottom of this post, just for contrast.

This card is for two challenges. Clean and Simple from whence I took the sketch, and Cards and Things whose challenge is to use the colours Baja Breeze, Night of Navy and Basic Gray.

The stamp was part of a set given to me for my birthday by the lovely Victoria. Yummy or what!

I simply stamped, cut out, and mounted them on a small square of colour, then added the matching butterflies. A sentiment, also Stampin' Up was all that was need to complete the card!

Here is the other card. I made the background, by spritzing the paper with oodles of Cosmic Shimmer and overprinted the plant silhouettes with Stazon and added the ribbon and flower. (The inks and the flower dies were also birthday presents from the lovely lady who lives in the cupboard with her Cuttlebug.)

I made the sentiment on the computer and cut it out with a Nestie label.

Quite a contrast huh!
