Clean and Simple

Whoo-hoo - I love the clean, uncluttered look but am totally useless at it normally - I've actually managed to make one that I really like. I found a sketch at the Clean and Simples Stamping challenge that I liked and decided to have a go. I think I shall do this challenge each week until I become 'good' at it. Think how much easier life will be when it gets to Christmas with dozens and dozens of cards still to be made.

I took a piece of plain white cardstock and embossed it top and bottom with a Provo craft Organic flourish embossing folder, scored two lines above the lower and beneath the upper to separate the middle portion. I cut two butterflies with the Marianne creatable stencil, one in blue and the upper one in blue patterned vellum. I added pearls to the body and then attached it to the ribbon and finally stamped a WOJ sentiment. I mounted the whole onto blue card onto the white. Not only clean and simple but quick and easy, although I did move things round a little as you can see.

Well it's a miserable day here, dark and raining but at least it's dampened down the pollen so my hay fever isn't as bad - I've felt pretty bleurrghh all week.   I have fields outside and the farmer cut his grass last week but hopefully won't be doing that again for a while.  It would be good if he planted some potatoes or asparagus (this is the area for them) then I could pop out in the darkness with my little bag - NO - wouldn't dare - I'd get caught.
