Celebrate New Beginnings


Less Is More Challenge #445 begins today. We are challenged to make a Clean and Simple card that features the colors pale blue and yellow.
I love this color combination, and immediately know that I wanted to use this floral image. I channeled my inner Izzy Scrap, and decided to make my card square. I stamped and clear embossed the floral image, colored it with Zigs, and die cut it. I lightly stenciled the left side of the card, stamped and clear embossed the sentiment, and popped the die cut floral piece with foam tape. I will use it as a retirement card for a dear friend who is starting a new chapter. I wish her every happiness, good health  and great adventures.

Please head over to the Less Is More Blog and see what the Design Team has created for your inspiration. I hope you'll play along with us to share your creations. Remember to keep your design Clean And Simple. See challenge guidelines on the Less Is More Blog.

Supplies:
Stamps ~ Pinkfresh Studio Heart & Soul; Pinkfresh Studio - Mt Favorite Things To Say
Ink ~ VersaFine Onyx Black; Catherine Pooler It's A Boy
Accessories ~ Pinkfresh Studio Heart & Soul Die; Funky Fossil Knitted Background Stencil; Wow clear embossing powder

I am also playing at:



My favorite style is CAS, but I have grown into it. I used to love lots of layers and embellishments, but now I appreciate the "less is more" mentality. It's a big challenge to me to make a big artistic statement with a clean and simple design.
