Clean & Simple Monochromatic


Sharing a card for a couple of challenges, one to 'cut it out', one for monochromatic, one for clean & simple and one simply for Birthday.

I have used mainly punches and dies to create this card.  The main piece was achieved with a Martha Stewart 'punch around the page' set and I then used a square nestability to cut the centre out.  I measured a piece of pink card to lay behind it and cut out a smaller nestability square so that there was a contrasting edge to my aperture.  I stamped a Happy Birthday greeting for the message to be seen through the aperture and die cut some Mariane flourishes and punched some flowers and leaves out in shades of pink.  Embellished with clear flower gems for the centre of the flowers and glittered the leaves with Glamour Dust.

Challenges Covered:-


Sir Stampalot Challenge - Monochromatic
Less Is More - Cut It Out
ABC Challenge - Happy Birthday
Charisma Cardz - Clean & Simple
