Less is more when it comes to clean and simple greeting cards.
Clean and simple is a design of card with clean lines, minimal elements, areas of white space with few or no embellishments.
I made this card for Mo's Clean and Simple Challenge. This is how I made the card:
I started with a blank pre-made cream card that measures 4" by 5.5".
I used a Tim Holtz stencil and Distress Ink to stamp the background.
I used Mo's "Fall Kitten" digital stamp. I printed the image on craft cardstock and tinted it with Copic Sketch markers.
The sentiment is from "Clearly the Right Words" from Dylusions.
That's it! Clean and simple.

This is the first time I have made a handmade card in several weeks. I will enter this card in "Mo's Challenge #180 - Things With Wings".
This is how I made the card;
(1.) I started with a blank kraft card that measures 4" by 5 1/2".
(2.) I used the Flowers border die from the Sizzix Dots, Flowers & Rick-Rack Set of embossing folders for the embossed flowers on the side of the card. I ran the card and die through my Cuddlebug machine. I rounded the corners on the right side of the card.
(3.) I chose a digital image from Mo's 3 Baby Fairies set. This set has some awesome images for Spring! I colored the image with Copic sketch markers and added highlights with a white gel pen.
(4.) I embellished the card with a felt cloud die cut from a Hobby Lobby Easter set, a "Smile" sentiment sticker from K & Co. and a pink glitter heart from Martha Stewart.

Today I made a handmade greeting card for Mo's Challenge #130 - I See Spots w/Mo image. The card must have some round shapes or dots on it. I found some background paper with blue/brown dots. I also used an image with a round chocolate chip cookie on it.
This is how I made the card;
(1.) I started with a pre-made kraft card that measures 4" by 5 1/2".
(2.) I chose "Baby Boy/Stripe" patterned paper from Heidi Grace Designs (Fiskars) for the background.
(3.) I used the digital stamp "Bronte and Louis" from Mo's Digital Pencil Shop. I printed the image on kraft cardstock and used a Nestabilities die to cut it out. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils. I highlighted the image with a black gel pen and a white gel pen. I used the white gel pen to make some faux stitches around the edge of the image.
(4.) I embellished the card with a "Smile" chipboard sticker and two punched paper flowers.
This is the second week that I have used a non-traditional hair color. This week I made the hair black with blue highlights. What do you think?
