Minimalistic Monday

Welcome to another edition of Minimalistic Monday here on the blog - trying to home the less is more philosophy behind clean & simple designs.


My final card design was inspired by playing along to several challenges to get the MOJO flowing:

Clean & Simple Cards for Beginners #saturdaychallenge34 Vases - opted to use the Artisan Sletched Garden DSP for the fun vases. 

Almost Clean & Simple Cards #saturdaychallenge10 Mostly Vellum - added some vellum spigs to behind my vase. 


Krafty Chicks has a CAS challenge this week so perfect for Minimalistic Monday design.


CAS on Friday challenge  Make a Round card #CASF341


CAS colours & sketches colour challenge Misty Moonlight, Pecan Pie & Berry Blast.



Addicted to CAS code word Anniversary - using a Happy Anniversary sentiment from Scenic Coast stamp set.


I’m getting inky with Artisan Sketched Garden DSP, Vellum, Sunset Coast stamp set and from my stash nesting circle dies and sprig punch, metallic gems, Misty Moonlight & Berry Blast blends and Pecan Pie ink with a blending brush.   


It has been a long time since I have tried a round card design - I fussy cut out the floral vase and coloured with Misty Moonlight & Berry Blast blends. I blended some Pecan Pie around the edge and behind the vase for some vintage vibes. Added some sprigs of vellum and a few gold metallic gems. 


Happy Stampin’
