Clean and Simple at Charisma Cardz

Good morning everyone!  So glad the theme this week at Charisma Cardz is Clean and Simple, or I would never have been ready in time.  My DH is now home after 6 days in the hospital, so my free time is rather limited for the moment.   Although I find crafting to be a perfect relaxation outlet, some worries just can`t be coloured away.


Today`s challenge is being sponsored by Stamp Fairy, and this is one of the images that they so kindly provided.  This cuddly little number is coloured with copics and a bit of prisma shading.

For the card design, I`ve followed this sketch at Card Patterns.  The DP is an older line from My Mind`s Eye, and the card blank in behind has been sponged in with DI.

I found some paper lace ribbon in my stash, and some little sticker circles that I'd forgotten I even had!  Other than that, just a bit of liquid pearls.

Hope to see your entry this week, and be sure to check out the rest of the team`s entries for your inspiration.  Thanks for visiting!

    I like clean and simple cards very much - and even though you don't have many elements, the background paper adds liveliness to the design. Thank you for sharing the card with us at Crafty Cardmakers.
