Keep It Simple

As I mentioned last week, I was recently invited to join 365Cards as a Design Team member. I'll be the designer featured on Wednesdays and while I can't give you a sneak peek of my card for tomorrow, I thought I'd post my card from today's challenge.

The challenge was to "keep it simple" by using just one piece of patterned paper, one stamp, and 3 embellishments. Whenever I read scrapbooking or other paper craft magazines, it seems like the ones who get published are the ones who make cards or layouts where it looks like their embellishment storage threw up on the page! A lot of designers stick random bits, buttons, and baubles all over the place, whether it pulls the design together or not. It's a nice reminder to "keep it simple"!

Here's my design:

Pretty simple! And I LOVE that lace- I got it at Jo-Anns on super-mega sale and it's just so gorgeous I want to use it on everything. 

Look forward to tomorrow morning when I post my first daily card design for 365Cards!
