CSF Saturday Hop - Trim it Down

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Trim it Down - minimalist design, aka CAS (clean and simple). This is always a challenge for me because, like last week's theme, I lean toward more is more. So paring things down was a struggle!

A 1 1/4" strip of striped Melon Mambo DSP was adhered to the Bubble Bath card base, then a Stylish Shapes circle was adhered on top. I stuck with those two colors, but really wanted to add a third with some leaves, lol. (Chanting CAS, CAS, in my head.) 

The blossom was inked in Melon Mambo with a sponge dauber and stamped off once to lighten the image. It was colored with the Light Bubble Bath Stampin' Blend and die cut with the matching die, then popped up on dimensionals.

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori at Loritamarie Crafts.
