For the next two weeks our challenge theme at Try It On Tuesday is 'Keep It Simple'.
So a CAS card from me!
I smooshed a bit of watercolour card across some watery Mowed Lawn DI. One of my better results I thought!
Cut out with a stitched die and stamped some bamboo at one side. The bamboo stamp is years old and I think it's from Choc Baroque.
Added a thin stitched die frame on top as an experiment - didn't glue it at first!
I love Ginko leaves so when Inkylicious brought this set out I had to have it. Stamped and fussy cut and then arranged them inside and outside the thin frame before glueing it all in place.
I was going to add another ginko on the top right but remembered I had a chinese writing stamp and a little bit of the smooshed piece left so used it up.
Finished it all off with a couple of little citrus green dots, using a bigger one to hide the overlap of the offcut bits!
For this make I used linen textured cardstock to give the background some interest.
Please go visit the challenge blog and see what the rest of the team have come up with this time!
Hope you can join us too and thanks for looking today. x

our local park has some Gingko trees, the leaves are so beautiful. Love simplicity of the green on green ♥
WOW that’s a stunning card Viv. Love the green and the GB leaves. The additional touch of Chinese writing strips and the bamboo stamping, plus the frame really finish it off nicely. Great layout.

Tis beautiful Viv. Love the use of the offcut strips and using the writing stamp on them. I am on a mission to use up all my stips of paper. Going to take rather a long time methinks. Hugs Mrs A.
