It sure feels good to be taking all these challenges already this year. I did not do that much at the end of last year. It is also exciting to try a new challenge and today’s Card Concept Challenge #1 came together nicely for me:
The styles are divided into 6 style themes:
- Clean & Simple (CAS)
- Clean & Layered
- Clean & Graphic
- Freestyle Collage
- Shabby Chic
- Classy & Elegant
I am choosing to make mine in the category of clean and layered
SUPPLIES:
Designer Paper - Garden Party by DoveCraft
Strathmore Pastel paper
Image - Graphics Fairy
Grommets - Reflections
Scallop Cut - Barb Derksen
Text - Silhouette Sketch Pen
Ribbon
1 small thing is a little tidbit I will share each time I post.
It will be a totally random thing - a recipe, tip, idea, craft, thought, photo.
Today’s small thing is:
Grow Your Own - Green Onions
Instead of keeping these hidden away in the bin in the refridgerator, put them in a window (hopefully you have a nice window in your kitchen) and allow them to get roots happening. Next, plant them in a pot and you will have Green Onions for your stir-frys, salads and cheddar baking powder biscuits and… well, YOU get the picture!
Thanks for visiting!

I love your CAS card with it's embossed dottie background, the gorgeous coloured ribbon and wonderful use of eyelets. A perfect sentiment for the lovely Graphics Fairy image. :-) Thank you so much for joining us at the Card Concept Challenge.

What a great card! I love that vintage roller skate image (I think I had them!) and the dry embossing and ribbon and eyelet are all super accents to your focal point. Great job with this challenge!
ReplyDeleteGeorgeous card, and thanks for the great tip too!
ReplyDeleteOh your card is just wonderful! I love your take on the clean and layered style! Thanks so much for joining in on our first Card Concept Challenge! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this, Mrs. Miles! That vintage roller skate took me back to my youth and brought a huge smile to my face! I loved skating with these and the clack clack of the metal wheels on the sidewalk! Hugs, Darnell
