The Paper Players 394 - Design Team Card

I enjoyed seeing the various ways people used the colours in last week's challenge: so much variety and so much skill! This week at The Paper Players, its Clean and Simple week with Laurie's "Blooms" challenge.



We'd love to see what you do with blooms and we want to see a CAS (Clean and Simple) treatment. So - minimal layers, minimal embellishments and lots of clean space.

The stamping over the sponged circle gives the illusion of layers but there's still plenty of clean, white space left to keep that CAS look.


This little bloom stamp out of Love What You Do is rapidly on the way to becoming my favourite item from the forthcoming Annual Catalogue, available for order after 1 June.  I've coloured it with Stampin' Blends here but it colours well using any medium. The Stampin' Blends also turned my rhinestones into Rich Razzleberry rhinestones.


Pop over and see what the rest of the team have done with Laurie's CAS challenge at The Paper Players

  2. What a pretty card and a great way to create dimension but still keep it CAS! That sponging is amazing! I can never seem to get the colors blended smoothly, but you've done a perfect job! The little strip of DSP is a perfect accent!

  3. Jan - loved your beautiful "Thank You" card. I'm into purples, so it caught my eye right away! I'm going to use your card as my inspiration for this week's challenge. I also pinned it to my Pinterest card ideas board for future inspiration as well! -Donna
