Hello stamping friends. Happy Friday! I hope you are having a wonderful day. I'm here today with the Just Add Ink Design Team for the new Just Add Ink Challenge - Just Add Ink #741 | Just Add Simple & Elegant. This week our challenge was suggested by Just Add Ink Design Team member Lou Kitelman.
I've used the Heirloom Arrangements Kit for my Simple & Elegant card today. I've tried to do simple as best as I could but when I paired back the layers the card just didn't look right. So I've pulled back all the ribbon and embellishments that I like to use for a simple (with a few layers) & elegant look.
I've gone a bit rogue with the kit and cut up one of the 'pink' printed card bases to use as a 'cardstock' layer. Because these cards are cut to a U.S. sized card I opened one up and then cut it to an Australian sized card base. If you look real closely at the pink layer you can see the fold from the original card but with the printing on the card base it blends in. I also cut up some of the tags, die cut pieces and the printed envelopes to use on the Perennial Postage die cut pieces. These elements had to have similar colourings so that they would coordinate on the front of the card.
I finished the card off with some of the other printed and die cut pieces from the Heirloom Arrangements Kit, the stamped Happy Birthday from the Delightful Wishes Stamp set, and a few Iridescent Pearls to add to the elegant look.
