Clean and Simple Cardmaking
Today is day 2 of Kristina, Jennifer, and Julie's Clean and Simple Cardmaking online class and I am already loving it! They started out on day 1 with three sketches - what a perfect way to start for those of us who really struggle with CAS cards! And I actually sat down and made a card with one of the sketches! :)
I really struggle with white space, so instead of leaving it actually white, I used some large stamps to create a background.
In her post and video, Kristina talked a lot about using masking to create interest, and also ways to use die cuts creatively. So I decided to use both these techniques on my card.
It may be only day two, but so far I'm really loving this class and I've got high hopes for a lot of learning and improving on my part! :)
Love the background and what great masking with your text! They are beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteYou've created a great card. Love the design and the colour! Great take on the sketch and such crisp masking!
