So you can get up off the floor now and stop laughing that "chuck it all at a card ClarkyJ" is on the design team at Keep it Simple!Me and simple have found it hard to get along but try we must as I have accepted the challenge of being on the team :0)
Our first challenge was to make a Christmas card with the traditional colours of red and green. I found these fabulous corrugated cards at Kanban at my last visit and loved the texture so much it begs not to be covered up. I have added touches of gold to the ridges so it has a sparkly feel to it. The ribbon has the Merry Christmas sentiment running through it so that took care of that and I have just added some white and gold vellum, the fabulous paperartsy background stamp then an image which I have punched out to finish it off. Took less than the required 30 minutes and it is indeed very simple what do you think?
The Keep it simple team have produced some gorgeous projects so do stop by to check it out - we would love to see you join in too !
I love the post, made me smile, as I feel so uncomfortable with the same thing, I had a great tidy up and hid everything so I could not add my usual array of embellishments but my gosh was that hard, so really feel the empathy with you and glad to see you on the DT
