Keep It Simple at TIOT

 Our challenge for the next two weeks at Try It On Tuesday is called - 'KEEP IT SIMPLE'.
I hope that you can find time to join us and also pay a quick visit to the Design Team to see what they've come up with!

I have not had a lot of time recently as we have a big County Art and Craft Showcase in September and our W.I has been creating a very large project (more on that when I can reveal!)

So because of the time constraints and my brain being full of coming up with things to make (and making) for the very specific Showcase theme I turned to my saved folder for ideas and saw a card like this!

It was really quick and I am happy with how it turned out - I think the white over the black gives a crisp look and the lime green adds a big pop of colour.

I simply added a few enamel dots in the same lime green for a bit of interest.

I shall be doing a couple more using a different colour than black for the base card to put into my emergency stash I think!

The lime green certainly pops against the black and white and this is a great CAS card. Look forward to hearing more on your big WI project - sounds exciting 😉

What a pretty card! The semi circle with the leaves popping out make a great focal point and the colors you used are so striking. Thanks so much for playing along with us over at A Cut Above, I hope we see you back again soon!
