Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme…this month it is “Plants”, and we each create a simple card every week using that theme!
I’ve been working quite a bit with the Artfully Inked bundle and had this piece laying on my desk unused. I decided to finish it into a card!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Blackberry Bliss cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was stamped with the Artfully Inked large leaf and Evening Evergreen Ink towards the left side. The greeting from Peaceful Moments Stamp Set was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink in the upper right corner.
- A 1-1/4 x 3-3/4 piece of Artfully Composed Designer Paper was added to the bottom of the Basic White.
- The monster leaf was cut with the Tropical Layers Die, and both pieces added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Windowpane Ribbon was tied in a bow and added to the monster leaf with a Mini Glue Dot.
- A trio of Silver Metallic Pearls were added to the background.
SUPER simple, but the dies do all the work! Make sure to check out what Mary did this week for her “Plants” Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary! Stay tuned next week for another Creatively Simple “Plants” card!
