I signed up for the Clean and Simple Card-making Class this week but, as it was already day 4 I have some catching up to do, I'm going to make the cards for each class but they won't necessarily be in the right order!!
It's also inspired by the current photo challenge at Paper Smooches Sparks challenge
and will fit nicely in at Simon Says Stamp which is Spots &/or Stripes.
My second card to share is from Day 3 which is to use inspiration to make a Clean and Simple card so off I went to Pinterest and found this photo ... oh for my hallway to look like this *sigh*
I have to say this is a cool technique to try... the die I used could easily cut chipboard but because I wanted a tone on tone effect I used thin white card stacked and stuck together with the last layer being the blue card ... not sure if it was quicker than fiddling about with foam pads but I think the effect is worth the difference :)
Right well that's all from me so far, the class is packed with tips and great ideas to get my head around and you should see some of the amazing samples already in the gallery as well as the gorgeous cards from class tutors Jennifer McGuire, Kristina Werner and Julie Ebersole
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend :)
