Color Throwdown 463

My card-making style leans heavily to the simple; this time, for Color Throwdown 463,  I tried to include some details that would make it just a little more "involved."  The die is from Cheapo (new discovery) and the sentiment die is a Penny Black one.  The embossing folder is a Tim Holtz design for Sizzix. 

White Space for Tag Tuesday

I like making a white-on-white creation, and this tag was no exception.  The theme at the Tag Tuesday blog is "white space."  I chose to make a tag that is all white space except for the black accents of the word and the polka dots in the ribbon.

The tag was cut from white cardstock and dry embossed in a dots folder; "Scribbles and Splat" is a new set of Tim Holtz dies, and they were fun to apply in all-white, along with some white Prima flowers.  

Less is More with Foliage in One Layer

Less is More  issues the one-layer challenge again.  This time, the single layer needs to focus on foliage. 

I cut the leafy branch with a PoppyStamps die out of a background of watercolors and salt created by my 5-year-old great-niece.  The foliage was then inset into the card front, which was also embossed on the side with one of Tim Holtz's Alterations. The sentiment is from Power Poppy.
