Today is day 4 of the Clean & Simple class (don’t worry I haven’t forgotten about day 3…I’m working on it 😉 ). The theme is white space. Since that was my only direction, I looked for a challenge to help me out.
I found two that worked well: a sketch from Less is More and colors and motif from Paper Smooches Sparks (the current Picture Perfect inspiration challenge).
I think this week is the most my heat gun tool has ever been out! For this card, I embossed the motif directly onto the orange card base. Then I cut pieces of grey card stock to frame the motif.
I probably could have gotten away without the top strip, but I liked the strips in the inspiration photo.
Thanks for taking a peek!
Happy Birthday

Holy cow, you embossed that motif? It looks so crisp, I thought it was a die cut! I never think to use Sahara Sand, either, but it is perfect with the bright orange. Awesome design!
