This design was inspired by a pin you can see here. The lotion packaging places the words at the top, then botanical stems in a diagonal, all underlined with a solid line at the bottom. I chose the most stylized stem from Life and used just that for my botanical element. I love how the curvy line of the stem contrasts with the spiky flowers along it. There's so much movement here, but it's grounded by that solid blue line.
The font of the sentiment is clean and simple, keeping the focus on the activity below it, but the black helps balance it nicely.
Bling, of course, makes everything better.
I'm headed off to my craft space to change gears with the set now. What sort of pretty backgrounds can I make that will set off the solid images nicely yet still remain true to my CAS (clean-and-simple) style? We shall see!
By the way, any suggestions to treat a nasty cough/cold that's keeping me awake at night? This is very frustrating!
Mercy, grace, peace, love, and healing,
Susan

I like how your leaves move across the card. I would never have thought to ground the leaves. This is elegantly CAS.
ReplyDeletefenneltea with honey is good against coughs
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Dutch Delft pottery- that pretty blue and white pattern!
ReplyDeletemake tea by pouring boiling water over a teaspoon of ground ginger, add a lot of honey. Liquorice helps with coughing - I make tea with it (tea is always good). Chamomile tea is a classic for a reason. Maybe add chamomile to the ginger?(it might help with the taste as well). Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteLove the card...sorry you're up at night with a cough! I'd take a bit of whiskey, straight. Clears up that throat tickle really well. Ask me how I know...
ReplyDeleteMy father used a mixture of whiskey, lemon juice, and honey. Helped with the cough and cleared up the phlegm.
