Happy Sunday, all! We have had a wonderful week weather-wise here in SE PA....but today, I believe winter will make a little visit! It was so nice yesterday....cool, crisp and clear! I can't remember a November quite like this! Anyway, it's Claire's turn to host the Paper Players and she has a Clean and Simple Christmas challenge! I can always use one of them!
Because my image was on the small side, I chose to do a notecard! Here we go:
My friend Martha gave me this little winter scene from Altenew; I actually have a larger one as well, from Artistic Outpost. But I liked the small scale of this one; I stamped it in Dapper Denim on heavy white cardsotck, along with a sentiment from Amy R Stamps (Handy Christmas Greetings), then added some snowy glitter and a few random snowflakes:
The only other thing I did was to round the corner, just to give it a little interest! Clean, simple, one layer, one color....can't get much easier than that! Isn't that what stamping is all about? I love embellishments and layers, but sometimes, just need stamps, ink and paper!
I hope you'll play along with us this week as you start your holiday stamping....or maybe you're already finished! But we can always add one more to our stash, right? Check out what the others on the DT did as well:
Some serious crayon time!
Enjoy your day!
Gorgeous - CAS simplicity at its best LeAnne! Inspired by you, I also tried to go with the one layer look this week! I love the snowflakes on your card - so realistic - and it's funny how adding something as simple as a rounded corner really makes a difference to a CAS card. As for Cassidy - choosing the correct colour is important stuff!
ReplyDeletePretty winter scene LeAnne! I think the snow and the flakes falling softly down is just beautiful.I really like that dapper denim too. Cassidy is a true crafter!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card, LeAnne! I love all the white crisp space and that beautiful scene you created! The Dapper Denim looks amazing to! Love it! TFS and yes, hang on to hat and everything else today! Definitely a different November this year! We had snow last night! Tis the season I suppose!
ReplyDeleteYou do know how to sing the blues! Love this! And the snow is wonderful....we are getting some of the real stuff today!
ReplyDeleteI loved this as soon as I saw it! The blue look awesome and I love the touches of snow!! Sweet, Simple and STUNNING!
ReplyDeleteI love how peaceful this card is Leanne, just lovely!! Looks like Cassidy is searching for THE perfect color!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just perfect LeAnne. This tiny little cottage is so snug and cozy. I love the texture of the snow and the rounded corner is just enough interest for a CAS card--lovely! Happy, happy Thanksgiving to you, my friend!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I adore this CAS card! The Dapper Denim is so pretty! I never think to use that color! I love it! The snowy glitter and snowflakes are perfect! You rocked my challenge this week, My Friend! Cassidy looks like me when I am trying to pick the right color! SO precious--deep in thought! XX
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfectly beautiful one layer creation, LeAnne! I love that little scene from Altenew and it's perfectly accented with the bits of snow. Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I love the simple color choices for this wonderful stamp and your snow is the perfect finishing touch for your CAS perfection card

Wow, that glitter looks so "real" in the picture. I love it. Beautifully CAS, beautiful Christmas card. Hmmm, I possibly look just like her when choosing a Copic.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely serene card.
