Hello fellow paper crafters!
Welcome to my Tips and Techniques Thursday post.
Today I wanted to talk about " less is more"
Whenever I am creating a card, I want it to be special, to be beautiful....and that means layers and bling and embellishments etc.
Sometimes, I believe ....less is more.
Check out this card. It is simple....it is eyecatching.....it is different....it is subtle....it is beautiful. And best of all...it is so easy!
I believe that you don't always have to have a whole bunch of "stuff" going on to create a beautiful card.
The card base here is Shaded Spruce cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
The art panel is Whisper White cut at 4 x 5 1/4
The stamp set I used was Christmas Gleaming
I stamped the holly image across the art panel using Memento Black ink pad.
I colored the berries only with a dark Real Red Stampin' Blend marker.
I stamped the ornament image on Whisper White card stock with Real Red ink and punched it out with the coordinating punch. Next, I colored it with the Shaded Spruce Stampin Blend marker. I adhered the ornament with dimensionals
I stamped the tag outline with the stamp from Merry Christmas To All stamp set found on page 68 of the Annual Catalog. Next, I cut it out with the coordinating die. Then I stamped the Merry Christmas greeting using Memento Black ink and adhered the greeting to the card front with dimensionals
To finish it off I added a tiny gold bow and a few gold embellishments for a bit of sparkle.
found on page 31-32 of the Holiday Catalog.
So...what do you think....is less more? Please comment on this post with your thoughts....good and bad....I value your input!
