Today I'm sharing my DT card for the newest Inspirational Challenge #348.
Clean and Simple - Optional Twist: Flowers

I used the optional twist of flowers using a new purchase - Every Occasion Floral W and Sentiment Better Press Press Plate.
It fits the bill of being CAS and featuring flowers!
I used Better Press French Blue ink on Gray Cotton Card.
I filled in the centers of the blooms with a Gold Sharpie - so there is a little bit of shimmer in the light.
Since this was so CAS (ie easy to make!) - I made another card using the same Press Plate but this time using Better Press Mulberry ink on Bisque Cotton Card.
(It looks black in the pic - but IRL it is a dark purple!)
I added clear crystals to the centers of the flowers.
So please join us and show us your Clean and Simple cards - maybe using flowers?! You'll find inspiration from the rest of the DT as well as Mr. Linky over at the Inkspirational Blog!

What a beautiful image Julia. Love the foiling done in both colours. Both the touches of gold and crystals, add something special. Great work! xx
ReplyDeleteSimply lovely Julia! Breathtaking flourished initial that takes centerstage in your CAS creation~
ReplyDeleteOh, I love these. I have several of those letters, but not the W - yet! xx
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely sympathy cards, Julia! I love the blue and purple and they must be even prettier in person with the slight indentation you get with a press plate. Sue N
ReplyDeleteThe blue and white one is so beautiful (my favourite colour combination!)! The purple one makes for a very dignified sympathy card.
ReplyDeleteVery, very gorgeous cards, IMO and everyone else I bet.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful takes on that press plate, Julia - love both versions! I'll have to take a look - I love the ease of a press plate, especially for cards we need unexpectedly!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards are so serene and peaceful and perfect for sympathy cards! Love in both colors!
ReplyDeleteJulia, your floral letter cards are beautiful. You've let their elegant simplicity shine. I have several of these letter/floral press plates - and most have yet to be inked. Thank you for inspiring me to bring them out for a play.

Beautifully elegant card, Simply stunning ❤️
ReplyDeleteThe centers of the flowers look so cool with those crystals added in. It makes this sympathy card really special. Thanks for playing over at The Flower Challenge.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely stamp to have on hand for a sympathy card. I really like this design, it doesn’t need anything more than the little something you added to the flower centre. Beautiful.
