CLEAN AND SIMPLE

I still struggle with this concept for card making.

Being into mixed media and doll making I am all

about the "detail", finding something new each time I

look at a piece.

With C & S it seems to be more about the immediate impact.

 I chose to use a slightly textured card stock
and added a faded green patterned paper
(Crafter's Companion Beatrix Potter cd)

 I made an embossed frame from the same
 white textured card as the base...

then used Bundled Sage DI and Pastel Beige Promarker to
add a little colour.

I coloured the man image and cut her out before 

gluing her onto the background...

Then it was just a matter of adding the frame
(on thin foam pads)
a bit of ribbon and a sentiment :D

...and that's about as C & S as I can manage lol

Enjoy  ;D XXX

I was given the image 

"Evath"

and I didn't want to overpower her simple beauty

 so I selected  soft muted pinks and browns for her,

 including washy tapes to make subtle borders.

 Just for a change I cut an aperture into the base paper,

inked edges with TH Distress ink Victorian Velvet

and set the image behind it.

 I roughly coloured the base image with my promarkers

 as I was going to decoupage another layer

 *why waste ink*

I made a raised border/ribbon strip using

washy tape over a strip of paper,

and added strips of ribbon leaves and lace.

 I then made her a layered flower for her hair

from plain white paper flowers, coloured with 

inks and promarkers.

Finally some teeny tiny pearl drops for added 

texture, and the"I am Proud of you"

 sentiment from my Anna Griffin stash
