Welcome to the Control Freak's May blog hop! The theme is Clean & Simple projects.
You may have just arrived or hopped over from Wendy's blog. I'm sure you loved her unique projects.
For some reason when I think of clean & simple I lean towards mostly white projects. I've been wanting to play with my new Pretty Pop-Up dies so here is what I came up with for my first project:
It's almost all white; just a few accents of Balmy Blue & Petal Pink. These Pretty Pop-Up dies do not cut all of the way through; they provide detailed texture and a 'peak' behind the die-cuts.
I added a bit of color to some of the flowers and butterflies with Balmy Blue & Petal Pink light blends markers. To get them to pop up a bit I pushed each die-cut outward with my Take Your Pick tool. I adhered this 4" X 5 1/4" piece to a smaller piece of Balmy Blue card stock using mini dimensionals.
The greeting is from the Nature's Thoughts stamp set and on a die-cut from the Natural Prints dies. I added a 1/4" strip behind this to bring in a bit of Balmy Blue. This card might not be considered true clean & simple but it does only have a few layers! Ha!
I stuck with the Balmy Blue & White them for my second card but added a bit of Gray Granite with the Abigail Rose designer paper.
I used the smaller oval die for this card and used one of the single dies for the White butterfly.
The greeting is stamped on a circle die from the Picture This dies and is from the Nature's Thoughts stamp set as well. There is a piece of Vellum card stock behind the Balmy Blue layer.
You can see some of the dies I used in the photo below:
