Welcome to Thursday & our fabulous hop! We have a theme challenge today called “Clean & Simple” and I confess… this was not easy for me. I made a card but it used a die & ribbon, but was a step ‘up’ so to speak. And actually I like this card better. 😀

Do you see what I did here? I created a cross with score lines. So, stamp first (Pretty In Pink was used here), turn the card over & with your scoring tool, score lines where you want them. And why flip the card over? I wanted the score lines to be raised on the front, not indented. Make sense? After scoring, I added the stamped piece to a larger layer, then attached those to the card front with dimensionals. Final touch – Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems. So so easy…

For the inside… another stamp in the Love & Courage stamp set is the single word HOPE – – it’s stamped in Pretty In Pink on a Basic White insert piece then added to the inside of the card.

For the envelope… a piece of Subtles 6×6 DSP in Petal Pink was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. The traditional cancer ribbon from Love & Courage stamp set was stamped in Pretty in Pink on the flap & on the envelope front.

This is the first card I mentioned that I made that didn’t seem to fit the ‘clean & simple’ challenge. The DSP in the background is 2025-2027 In Color 6×6 in Strawberry Slush and the ribbon & inking is also Strawberry Slush.

Time to hop around – see what others on the team have created… click the ‘next’ button or click on a name. Either way, check them all. 😀 Enjoy the hop!
