For awhile now I've wanted to make time to indulge my love of clean and simple cards. I love the "more is more" look - but simple can be so much fun to create too. I've been sick with a nasty cold for the last few days, so had a bit of time to come up with something!
I wanted to play along with the Embellish colour & colouring challenge and pulled out the Make a Spash PI, this is what I came up with...
The layout for this card comes from the joint FTL153 & CFC15. The colouring was heavily influenced by (but doesn't do justice to) Sherrie, her wonderful video includes shading in knees on these PI cuties! I used different skin colours, but tried to emulate some of her techniques (I need a lot more practice!) I added polka dots to the swimsuit with a white gel pen.
The papers are from the Country Drive pack by Echo Park. The button is from Jenni Bowlin. I've used the File Tab Die-namic for my sentiment and embossed the kraft base with the Moroccan Screen embossing folder from provocraft.
Inside I have added a Sunshine Die-namic and shadow stamped the girl in Old Paper distress ink. The sentiment is stamped in Wild Wasabi. I'm hoping to bring you "Simple Sunday" posts fairly regularly as time allows. Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!
