It's a Seize the Birthday Thursday! Our newest topping for your consideration is "Show Me Your White Space". Barbara picked our topic, and shares a design definition of "white space" on the StB blog. Of course, if you are a more layered type of designer, we love to see any and all birthday cards in our link-up.
As a predominantly CAS (clean and simple) cardmaker, I didn't mind leaving some white space on my creation:
Of course, for a truly CAS design, I would have made a one layer card, but I also enjoy bending the rules a little bit. :D I combined this *calling bird* from Ellen Hutson's Twelve Days stamp set (sadly, retired) with a sentiment from their Everyday Punnies set. A little Copic colouring, a little Glossy Accents on the red hot line just for fun, and this really was quite simple to make.
My teammates and our continuing surprise party guest, Joyce, have each put their own spins on their "white space" cards, so be sure to check out their inspirations, too. Make a birthday card and join us!
Supplies: Neenah white cardstock, American Crafts Hip Hip Hooray patterned paper, Essentials by Ellen Twelve Days & Everyday Punnies stamps, Versafine onyx black ink, Wow clear gloss embossing powder, Copic markers, Winnie & Walter Katharine cutaway die, Glossy Accents
Love how you used the calling bird. I may have to swipe this clever idea. ;-) White space I can do. One layer....not gonna happen here either.
ReplyDeleteThis is, as always, an adorable CAS creation of yours! I love how you colored that wee birdie.
ReplyDeleteI was floored when I finally got the chance to read the STB winner's post! (Got my hair did this afternoon, then had to suck up to Colby. I'm sure you do the same with Duncan) Holy Crow! How cool is that?!! I'm so thrilled and honored!
