Fresh and Clean


Good Morning.  Today's card has a very fresh and clean look to it.  I kept it very simple and monochromatic in style.

I began by using the Embossing Folder Stamping Technique for the background.  It is very easy and fun to play around with.  I inked the inside of my embossing folder with Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers Distress inks, sprayed with water then pressed my paper into the wet ink.
When dry, I stamped my flowers and sentiment with black Memento ink.
Easy, right?


Adding my card to these challenges:

    I adore this. I can totally seeing me making something similar to this. It is so clean and simple but packs a great impact. And, with a sore shoulder and arm I think I might handle this type of card making. Thanks for the inspiration.
