H2H Challenge: Clean and Simple

Today is my final challenge as the guest designer over at the H2H Challenge blog. The theme this week is the hardest one for me yet: Clean and Simple!

I tend to want to add lots of bling and embellishments to my projects so it was hard to hold back and go for a more simple look. Here is what I came up with...an Easter egg!

I used the awesome Art Philosophy cartridge to make this, of course! You can find this fun card shape on page 57 of the handbook. I cut the card and the base pieces at 5 1/2".

I used my Cuttlebug to dry emboss the top and bottom parts of the egg shape.

To keep the embellishments clean and simple, I only added some strips of Washi Tape and Silver Shimmer Trim. I used Cotton Candy ink to stamp a sentiment from the adorable Easter Wishes stamp set. I love this set, it's so cute and only $9.95!
As a final touch, I added one small clear acrylic flower from the Claire Assortment. I put a small dab of Silver Glitz Glitter Gell to the center of the flower.

I added this embellished piece to the card front with 3-D Foam Tape.

And that's all there is to it! It really is simple :)

I hope you'll join the H2H Challenge: Clean and Simple along with me and all the design team this week. I can't wait to see what you come up with!  I hope this style is easier for you than it was for me :)

Happy Crafting!

  3. I have enjoyed seeing all of your amazing creations this week, Rachel! I have a hard time with CAS at times too. I really love the dry emboss on the white card. That new washi has definitely stolen my heart. Great addition of the silver glitz to the flower! :)
