Less Is More - Clean & Simple... Plain But Brilliant!


I have always loved to see how some crafters adopt the style of clean & simple. I reckon there has been increasing demand for less is more designs - not only for handmade cards but also in fashion, architecture, and etc. It may seem easy to design according to that theme but when there is less in the feature, the design has to have an attractive focus. The clean & simple approach requires skill - creating something plain without it appearing empty or bland.










Stamps : Bird (Prima), Fauna (Personal Impressions), Sentiment (RubberNecker)
Paper: 5"x 5" Card, White Card Stock
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento) 
Promarkers : Meadow Green, Tan, Satin
Embellishment: 3mm Colour Gems (Anita's), Natural Jute Twine, Pink Button


I shall continue to practise making cards this style ;) 


Sharing this card with folks at these challenges :
Stamping For The Weekend - My Favourite Things
Stampin' B's Design Team - Friendship Sentiment
Moving Along With Time - Clean & Simple




I heard that this weekend is the hottest weekend this summer (London). So, after the Sunday church service, I shall be lazing in the park frolicking with Mr Sun ;)









PAY IT FORWARD
I would like to invite some crafters to join me at this craft swap... erm, not exactly a swap but you get something handmade from me and you are to make something to give to next 5 persons. It's the 'Pay It Forward' project. I discovered it on someone else's blog and decided to participate in this meaningful project. Click here to join me or to read more about it. Only 3 more places left. So hurry!
