Less is More Challenge

  • by

This week’s challenge at Less is More is NEUTRALS. I rarely create a sympathy card with much color, and this one is all neutrals. It might be one of my favorite sympathy cards ever.

SympathyCard

I started with a Fog card cut with Simon Says “Stitched Rectangles,” embossed the sentiment from Papertrey Inks “Botannical Silhouettes” and then arranged a group of die cuts from PTI’s “Spruce and Sprig” cut from a variety of patterned and plain vellum. The silk ribbon bow is also Papertrey Ink. They no longer carry the ribbon, so I use it sparingly. The fog card was then attached to a card of Fresh Linen (also PTI.) Here’s a closer look:

The first challenge of 2016. I think I’ll try to keep track of the number of challenges I enter this year. I’d like to do one once a week, so 52 by the end of the year would be awesome. Most likely they won’t be week by week, but that’s OK too.

    Yes. That really is perfect. I would say – make a few more like that; but that obviously doesn’t sound quite appropriate given its a “sympathy” card. But you’ll never go wrong with this design.

    Oh this is so elegant and classy, perfect use of neutral colours and such brilliant dimension yet still CAS. Thanks for playing along in our new year challenge at Less is More. Sarah x
