This weeks's Paper Player's Challenge is a CAS ( clean and simple) challenge using an animal or a plant. I have to admit I almost feel like I am cheating on the Simple part of this challenge given how easy this card was to create. The plant is the flower in the tag and the flowers in the "Four Frames" stamp. I used the "Tea Time" Simply Scrappin' kit to create the card. The pink and green scallop borders are pre-cut border stickers that were applied to the white background. The green tag is a pre-cut sticker that I adhered to white paper and bordered with early espresso. The only real stamping is the sentiment within the "Four Frames" stamp set punched with the corresponding decorative label punch. I inked up only half of the flowers and the frame. How simple is that?
The Simply Scrapin' kits are perfect not only for scrap-booking, but for simple quick cards. These kits are amazing for stamp-a-stacks and perfectly coordinating decor items with little effort.

ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous color combination Tara! Love the pop of white against the early espresso. You really are the master at using the scrappin' kit I love your layout and the placement of the sentiment tag is just perfect. Lovely card!
ReplyDeleteTara, this color combo is fabulous and I love every single detail you added. I often forget about the Simply Scrappin' kits so this is wonderful inspiration to look at them with fresh eyes. I really like how you only inked up half of the flowers on the punched tag, too. Perfect!! Hope you had a fun weekend! Big hugs! :)
