This week's challenge at The Paper Players is a Clean & Simple color challenge.
I think I really succeeded this time in creating a "clean & simple" card. Usually I just can't resist adding layers, and ribbon or brads or pearls and such, but with this card, the simplicity is what makes it beautiful.
First I ran Whisper White through the Big Shot in the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder. Then I used a dauber to daub Platinum Shimmer Paint on the embossed snowflakes. After stamping the sentiment in Night of Navy, I added a frosty glow with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz. Rhinestones add the finishing touch.
Stamps: The Sounding Joy (121967 [W]; 121979 [C])
Ink: Night of Navy, Platinum Shimmer Paint (116807)
Paper: Night of Navy, Whisper White
Accessories: Basic Rhinestones, Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz (118772)
Tools: Big Shot, Northern Flurry Embossing Folder (120902), Sponge Dauber (102892)

ReplyDeleteRenae, I think it was a great idea to stay and craft whilst Mother Nature is doing her thing! I love your card. It really is clean and simple, but simply stunning. You managed to add so much interest with the shimmer spritz and the daubed snowflakes. So glad you joined the Paper Players this week and shared this gorgeous card.
