Am I the only one finding it hard to get back into the card-making swing of things? I keep making rookie (DUMB) mistakes, the January 'light' makes it difficult to get decent photos and I just feel kind of bleh! I know that the answer is to keep creating, so here's my first try - for this week's Merry Monday challenge (White on White):
I used an old Lifestyle Crafts snowflake - I love that it's so big and thin - it leaves lots of open space on the card. I cut it out of Stampin' Up's Dazzling Diamonds glitter cardstock. One of the fun things about making a square 4.25" card is that you can have something hanging over the edge of the card and it will still fit in the envelope.
I added a small sentiment made up from words from Winnie & Walter's The Big, The Bold and The Merry stamped in Sahara Sand.
For interest, here are some of the previous cards I've made with this snowflake:
Well you are doing a great job for being bleh. I just love the work displayed on this site. It's so artistic and non-cluttered. The snowflake is just right. You are off to a good start in 2016. Mary
ReplyDeleteLooks perfect to me! Good job for feeling like nothing is working -- I'm kinda in the same boat!

ReplyDeleteYou are the master of snowflakes. And definitely...after a break I always find it hard to get the mojo and hands moving the way I want them too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous white on white card. LOVE that snowflake!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty, simple design for white on white. Especially love the blue design x Amanda
ReplyDeleteIf this is bleh, it looks good on you!
ReplyDelete=]
Love your CAS card Ardyth...doesn't look "bleh" to me at all! I'm always amazed at how you can take something so simple and make it beautiful! Happy 2016! :0)
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect! Love!
ReplyDelete*Sigh* And *sigh* This is absolutely beautiful. It has such a soft and lovely feel to it. I love the glitter paper; it adds just the right amount of 'oomph' without detracting from this stunningly CAS design. I'm putting this one in my top 10 of your cards. Love this. True story. Oh, and I sure do miss you! Bev
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely not the only one. I figured if I didn't make something today, I might just forget how. ;) I see no signs of rookie mistakes or rustiness here, though — just a gorgeous CAS card!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the stall, Ardyth, but once I got going I couldn't stop. You've gotten off to a good start with this glittery, CAS card.
ReplyDeleteWell this card is definitely not bleh!! I'm with you though. I've been working on one card for three days, just keep changing gears!!
ReplyDelete...struggle.....seriously? I'm thinking NOT!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Clean! Simple! Elegant! PERFECT!!! Love how one tip of the flake extends beyond the card base!
Bleh, Ardyth?? Give me more!! This shimmery, stylish and splendid snowflake is just stunning! Wonderful to be reminded of the gorgeousness of the previous cards with this lovely! Hugs & bisous, mon amie, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLove love love that snowflake...the simplicity is sublime.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty "Clean & Simple" card. The snowflake is the best part! Thanks for playing Merry Monday!
