Less is More

 


Hello
I hope you’ve enjoyed the sunny weather, and managed to keep your cool.  I give thanks every day and every night for our collection of fans. strategically placed around the house!
 
Today I’m sharing the card I’ve made for this week's Daring Cardmakers Challenge. 
Less is More

It’s always tempting to add another die cut, tiny extra stamped flower, or just one more embellishment isn't it? 

But this week we want to see cards with at least 75% of the card left totally blank - no stamped or embossed backgrounds. Lots of white space.....try it, it’s amazing how effective it can be.

 Here is where you can see the Design Team: inspiration
 I thought the challenge would be just perfect for a First Wedding Anniversary card on my to-do list.
 

 
 
Info
 My card blank is a plain white square
For the hearts I coloured some scrap of the same card with several shades of pink Nuvo embellishing mousse.  These give a lovely soft sheen which you can see on the next 
 photo.  
The hearts were cut out using dies from a Bright Rosa die set from a couple of years back
 

I adhered three narrow pieces of silver glitter Washi tape to the left side of the card and arranged the hearts over, using scrap chipboard between the layers to keep them level.
The sentiment was pc generated and attached over the hearts.
To complete I added a few tiny silver gems to the large heart, anda silver heart shaped brad below the sentiment.

Thank you so much for coming by

 
 Happy Crafting, Stay Safe,
