Lovely You for 3 Challenges #FMS521 #JAI589 #TGIFC354

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

Today's card is a little different, it's a single layer #simplestamping card.  And, is the result of thinking about three challenges at one time :)  Freshly Made Sketches (#FMS521) offers Linda's Sketch with vertical and horizontal images.  Just Add Ink, challenges us to create a 'Minimalist' style of card.  And the TGIF Challenge provided the colours to work with.  Please follow the links below to visit each blog post, and enjoy the inspiration!



Assembly & Trix:

I challenged myself to keep this card super simple, but what I learned is that a 'Minimalis' look means that the images used need to be straight and aligned.  The vertical and horizontal lines are created with the Paper Trimmer scoring blade.  *** Trix, measure very carefully relative to the overall focal point on the card.  The lines are 1/4 of an inch apart.  And for a bit of line pattern, the outside lines are 1/4 longer than the inside lines.




 *  The clear and bold images in the Lovely You stamp set seemed to fit with the minimalist idea to me.    

*  The Soft Sea Foam, Calypso Coral & Smoky Slate colour palette is not one I would not think of, but I love it!  Now that I've been inspired I thinking of more ideas using this palette :)
