I thought about matting the white squares on colored cardstock but resisted the temptation. Glad I did because the three spots of glittery color are enough. This layout is a classic one...it's hard to reinvent the wheel at 11:00 pm. I don't try anymore, and it's made me a happier stamper.
Just keepin' it simple.
Here's another example of classic, CAS layout, and again it's the color that makes it look fresh and fun, not some fancy frilly froufee dozen-layer layout with lots of embellishments. Just color. Well, color and bling. Holy moly, I love Stickles.
Not that there's anything wrong with fancy frilly froufee dozen-layer layouts with lots of embellishments. It's just that you don't come to a blog titled Simplicity for that sort of inspiration.
Am I right?
Yes I LOVE your Simplicity Designs! They are so beautiful! And arent those stickles GREAT! Love the flames on the candles and that great flower stamp! Great CAS! Thanks Susan for sharing! Hugs...Cookie :D
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. I come to see simple with variations that I've not thought of. Your cards always have impact. I enjoy your blog so much!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards!!
ReplyDeleteYou are right - simplicity rules, as long as there's a little bling! Both cards are fab, Susan.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colors paired with white. Great idea leaving the squares white, I probably would have added mats but I like your look better! TFS!
ReplyDeleteI love the way your cards just POP! The simplicity makes them cards you can look at again and again. TFS
ReplyDeleteYour color challenge cards are so pretty, and I love your added sparkle!!
ReplyDeletehehehe - you are right Susan, we don't look for fancy frilly froufee dozen-layer layouts with lots of embellishments from you!!! :-) you make me laugh!! I love these two cards. That first layout is one of my all time favorites, like you can probably tell!! I am glad you left the matting off - white on white is your thing!!! :-)
