I have a clean and simple card using the Prima Marketing "Zephyr" collection to share with you today. Even with some layers of embellishments, it still has clean lines and a good amount of white space which is what I feel makes it CAS. I like to show that you can still create a nice and simple card while using all your fun embellishments & goodies!! Here is what I created:
1. Make A2 card from orange cardstock.
2. Cut floral paper slightly smaller, then adhere.
3. Cut white cardstock slightly smaller, then diecut three circles from the bottom & adhere with foam adhesive.
4. Add a wooden clip & rhinestone to the upper left corner.
5. Layer the resin, wooden heart, twine bow & flowers to the top of the diecut circles.
6. Add the first part of the sentiment above the diecut middle circle with alpha stickers.
7. Stamp the banner, cut out and adhere below the twine bow to finish the sentiment.
Challenges:
-CAS(E) This Sketch #1
-CAS-ual Fridays #74 - Heart
-Simon Says Stamp challenge - Dies &/or Punches
-Just Add Ink #139 - Use Something New
I hope you enjoyed my clean & simple, yet embellished card this afternoon!! I didn't have a post ready for yesterday, so I am going to add my Bible study notes to today's post.
What a beautiful section of verses. I read them over & over again today. Verse 17 is the wisdom I long for....pray for...want so completely in my life. It says, "But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere." All I can think about is how amazing our world could be if we all sought after this type of wisdom. So many wars and senseless acts have been done in God's name. I can only imagine the sorrow that God must feel when His name is misused and so completely misunderstood. I know it makes me feel sad.
Until later,
~L.

Lea, your blog is just a joy to read and your cards are snippets of happiness! I love the layers on this card and the echoing of the circle cut outs with the circle letters. It's amazing. So glad to see you over at CAS(E) this Sketch!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Lea. I really love the die-cute circles that have then been partially filled with embellishments - so pretty! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink :)
ReplyDeleteStunning design, Lea! I adore how you layered the gorgeous images (a skill that I am lack of...). Thanks for sharing the verses and thoughts. So true. Very glad that you played with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteThe Bible sure does make things sound easy, doesn't it? And then us humans had to go and complicate everything with our jealousies and aggressions and everything else that suck the peace and love out of us. {sigh}
ReplyDeleteIn other news...I wish I could be in your head to see your creative process. I just don't know how you do it. Just everything you turn out has nothing left to be placed. Everything in it's place, never needing anything and just the right amount of this and that here and there. You are an amazing designer, Miss Lea.
