A Breath of Fresh Air for PP317

Nance Leedy’s Clean-and-Simple challenge at The Paper Players asks us to make a clean card with a leaf.  I love the crisp colors of Fall and have used them a lot over the past weeks, so I thought I’d switch things up a bit today.  I decided to keep my project light and fresh – this combination of Old Olive and Soft Sky (with a lot of Whisper White) is a breath of fresh air this time of year, don’t you think?  Here’s my card:

Does it get simpler than that?!  Here’s the banner for Nance’s challenge that inspired my card:

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

  • Hello There.  Sometimes I sound like a broken record, but I love a sentiment that combines a beautiful script with a bold print.  Both of these sentiments are found in the stamp set that comes with the Oh Happy Day Card Kit – I combined them to beautifully and simply say “hi!”  Who doesn’t love a “just saying ‘hi'” card?Oh Happy Day Card Kit, Stampin' Up!
  • Beautiful Leaves.  This branch of beautiful leaves is found in the Remarkable You stamp set.  I’ve showcased this set a lot, so I’m sure you’ve already taken my suggestion to add this set to your wishlist, right?  While there are three beautiful flowers in the set, this branch has given me a lot of mileage.  Here’s a project I made with these leaves earlier this year – you can click on the photo to see my write-up of this card (including measurements for each layer).Remarkable You, Cottage Greetings, Hardwood, Stampin' Up!, Brian King, CYCI120
  • Fresh Color Combination.  Amidst all the Christmas, Thanksgiving and Halloween colors, this combination of Old Olive and Soft Sky is quite refreshing.  A lot of white space gives these colors space to shine.  If you like this combination of colors, too, please save this:Stampin' Up!
