Clean and Simple
And since it a New Year, it's time for those resolutions. What is the #1 resolution? Yep, to lose weight. So ARTish created a couple of new digi sets to encourage just that. My card features ZaZa Zumba Hippo... she's so darn cute!!!
I sometime have a hard time with clean and simple cards but I read a definition that CAS means little or no embellishments, straight clean lines. I think I fit that. But I did have to add a simple embellishment, a sweet little felt flower with button center and twine touch was just right. The challenge at JUGs this week is to put felt on your card. Now this is really simplifying their challenge so I might have to play again this week, but for this will do.
Supplies:
Image: ZaZa Zumba Hippo
Card stock: Neenah Classic Crest
Paper: Glitter matstack (DCWV)
Copics: BG10, BFG15, BV00, BV02, BV04, C5, C7, C8, RV00, RV02, RV02, RV10, W-0, W-2, W-3
Tools: Cuttlebug, Flowers die (Cuttlebug)
Embellishments: Felt, button, Buttercup Twine
