It’s good to be home, despite the 4 inches of snow we got as a welcome home gift from Mother Nature. This week’s challenge at Less is More is an interesting one. One of their designers questioned whether or not my dotted backgrounds for the last week’s challenge constituted “white space,” and she was probably correct. This week the challenge asks for colored “white space,” and I have a birthday card that fits the bill.
The cardstock is from Simon Says and the patterned paper from an old MME’s paper pack, “Go Fly a Kite.” I used Papertrey Ink’s “Sentiment Splits” die to create the curved bottom of the top layer, and the candle and sentiment both come from Papertrey’s “Wishes Come True.” I added a bit of Glossy Accents to enhance the flame of the candle.
I spent most of the first day home unpacking and organizing, and sadly, I think there’s still at least one more day for the organizing piece. I took some projects to Chicago to work on, and got a good start, but have more to do. Hope your week is a productive and happy one!
I’ve been looking at this Papertrey ink stamp set, and think I have to get it. Nice card. Thanks for sharing at Less is More!
CAS and so stylish, ideal for those tricky males. Karen x
White space that’s not white can turn out to be even nicer than white white space!
Classic and FAB!
Thanks so much

This is really superb! I love the layout and the shaped panel. The striped paper goes perfectly. Fantastic job!
Green is the new white on this card. Fab !!
I like the green as the new white space. It is a very nice card & could work for any age or gender. I particularly like the flame, bling without overwhelming. So tell me when are you teaching card making classes in Ontario?
A great CAS card – the stripes make this card really eye-catching, without being over-whelming. Great against the green too! A LIM stand out this week!
This is fab! Love the stripes!
Fabulous card, love the shape and design and the green with the stripes is fantastic. Such a crisp clean card.

The combination of strips with the coloured card looks fantastic, Karen! Your design is stylish and lots of fun. Great to see you at Less is More 🙂
Oh my, 4 inches of snow in April!?
Elegant and classy! A really fabulous card.
