CAS
(Clean and Simple)
That's the theme for Mo's Challenge that our hostess, Anja, has for us this week.
I have a hard time making cards with a lot of stuff on them, but the same is true for 'clean and simple' cards!
I guess I'm more a 'middle of the road' card maker! I love both styles, but just can't seem to pull either off to my satisfaction. I envy designers who create beautiful cards on either end of the spectrum!
This card uses "Big Present", and I paper-pieced the gift using digital paper. When using digital paper, there's little to no waste. I just print the image as usual, print a piece of digital paper that's big enough to cover the desired area, then print the image over it. It's a nice technique to use when you have a large area that you'd rather not have to color.
Images: "Big Present" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Stamped sentiment from PrintWorks
Tools: Copics, White gel pen, MS Hydrangea punch, SU! Mambo Melon ink pad, Mounting tape, Glue Dots
Paper: SU! Mambo Melon CS, Neenah white, Digital DPs
Embellishments: Tiny pearl cabochons
