Good Sunday morning all! This is about as close to clean and simple as I get. I do really enjoy this style of card as it is actually more difficult to do in many ways. For one, you have to make sure you don't leave any smudges anywhere! LOL That alone is quite a challenge! It doesn't need much in the way of a descriptive write up, but here goes. I started by stamping my sentiment from the
Justrite Extra Grand Sentiment set in
black Archival ink on a piece of
coconut white card. I always start with a slightly larger piece of card so I have a bit of trim room if needed if I stamp it a bit wonky. Next I used the largest size of the
Camellia Complete petal die to cut three apertures in a vertical line down the edge of the card. I have to admit, I don't measure things, just eye ball them so if you want it to be more precise, then a ruler should be used. I added mounting foam to the back of the card to raise it for dimension. Behind each of the three apertures, I added a different colour card, which I had embossed the flower into for more detail. The remainder of the card is simply matting and layering to add some interest to the simplicity of the design. I did finish with my signature paper pierced layer mat (just so you would believe I actually made the card! LOL) The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size.

ReplyDeletelove Junex (Cumbria)
really clean and simple card.....ideal for a last minute
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot Sue. Like you say finding the right balance on a simple card is hard . I think using the aperture of the flowers is genius as it pulls the images into backgrounder. If you had just stuck the flowers in a line on a flat piece of card they may have looked lost on their own. Thanks for the quick card idea. Big hug
ReplyDeleteJulie E
Hi Sue. This is a stunning card, it looks like it's a picture which should be framed and on the wall.

Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteSo many people I know have been hit by that bus that got you - it's been a bad bug. Take the recovery slowly - you probably needed a slow down period anyway.
Lovely card. Would love to see this one in real life. he photography create optical illusuons. The mats and layers look exquisite and perfect. I would love to see you demo creating mats from scratch. Your cards are always something to aspire to. Thank you.

Good morning Sue
ReplyDeleteToday's gift may be clean and simple but what a beautiful statement it makes. This is definitely one occasion which says 'less is more' and it works for me.
Well it looks and feels like we've gone backwards into winter than springing into spring. Someone somewhere has really got His seasons mixed up. It's raining/very windy and cold!! Will we ever get our proper seasons back?
Congratulations to all this week's winners especially Muriel.
It's going to be hectic all day with last minute packing and making sure everything is sorted here. We leave at 06.00 tomorrow so I'll be absent in the morning but hopefully will be able to get a signal around tea time. If not it will be Tuesday before I see you all again.
To all in pain and suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe.
Hugs Janet x

Just love this card. I'm definitely in the camp of less is more (though I do love all your cards)and this one particularly appeals to me in its simplistic appearance. Just beautiful...
ReplyDeletei don´t know about this one. maybe less is more but i like a bit more
ReplyDeleteOoh, Sue, its really lovely - I am not good at C&S, so it's good to have an idea or two.
ReplyDeleteLove the CAS card today. Very different to your usual style and equally as good x
ReplyDeleteI really love the simple clean look of this card, I will definately be trying this one. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love it Sue, as you said it's clean and simple but it's still lovely. x
ReplyDeleteI think it's a fabulous CAS! All these layers and the 3D effect made with the aperture look great, very stylish!

ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeletesimple but very effective. Sometimes it doesn´t need much to say "Thank you" but you are right you have to be careful with the white paper.
If I make mistakes I always glue stars in winter and flowers in summer on it. LOL
I´m soooooooooooo happy to win a prize I will send you my address immediately

I agree simple is so unforgiving Sue. Funnily enough these clean "simple" cards are the ones I sell most of. I find very elaborate cards have a smaller market place.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeletecongrats to the winners, The card is amazing i thought it was a picture in a frame it looks brilliant love it, hugs Sarah xxx
I love it! It's weird though, no matter how big I 'blow up' the first photo (main card) it looks like the flowers are stuck on top and not behind! Optical illusion I guess :)
ReplyDeleteSimple but Stunning! I love this card , perfect for a thank you card.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners!
Love and hugs to all xo
Hello Sue, and all the ladies,
ReplyDeletefrom one happy Wilsonette. Thank you so much for "pulling" my name and if anyone is confused about "Muriel" in Ecco of Sheffield's comment, it's a nickname. Congratulations to all the other winners.
Your plain and elegant card today is a lesson in simplicity and perfection. I know you say you don't do measuring but it certainly doesn't show on this card, and as for smudges, you don't do them, you do artistic interpretation!!
I hope you are feeling better today, and still taking it easy.
Thank you again.
I hope everyone is as well as they can be.
Maureen xx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWow love this card with its simple look but know how difficult it is to achieve! I too thought the flowers were stuck on top, silly me that would be too easy!. My flowers would be a cluster as I know my straight line would be wonky!
Hope you are having a relaxing Sunday Sue and recharging the batteries.
Love Diane G xxx
Congratulations to all the winners, Maureen can see your grin from here! Xxxx
Hi sue, what a clean, bright, simple but classy card this is. Congrats to all the winners! Hope you have a little more energy today. Do take care.

Sunday smiles to you Sue. Hope you are feeling slightly stronger today with less of a 'woozy head' Thinking of you dear friend.
ReplyDeleteMany congrats to ALL Sunday winners, enjoy your gift, I use mine so often.
Simply stunning. Simply elegant. I DO love this style of card, simplicity is an art in itself. Some cards can feel like a slap in the face (NOT your cards Sue) obviously, but overdoing a card can just end up looking like everything has been thrown up in air and stuck down where its landed lol. This Sunday Special is just amazing Sue, even I think I maybe able to do something similar (but NOWHERE as gorgeous as this)
Im only to happy to send anyone some die cuts of the camelia petals both open and closed, dont know how but Im only too happy to cut some.
Thinking of all friends that are struggling today. Missing you Cam, TOB, and Alison.
Sending love to all.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty amazing card! From a distance it looks like the flower design is sitting on top of the card instead of being an aperture, what a cool technique. As always, thanks for sharing with us. x

This is lovely. I like simple!
ReplyDeleteI know it's an optical illusion, but in some of the photos the flowers look recessed yet front-on they appear surface-mounted. It's doing my head in!
Lovely card!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWell you are a lady who is full of surprises! I love today's card! Elegant simplicity. I am saying no more about these camellias!
Love the matting and layering and the complete lack of smudges!

Love to all, and welcome home Anne!

Hi Sue, glad your feeling better & up and about. This card is lovely and you certainly show off your skill in it. I've had a go a piercing but it was very crooked and my stamping isn't always up to scratch. I need to get the right tools and I need to practice lol. Have a lovely day, blessings, Deb C xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely simple card. I really enjoy the look of the coloured flowers. Glad you are beginning to feel a little better.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, clean, elegant. The coloured flowers pop out against the white. A really stunning card. Now have so many ideas for my stepmums birthday my head is spinning!
Big congratulations to all the winners- enjoy your prizes, especially happy for Maureen and Rolfi xxx
Glad your aunt is home Alison x
I'm feeling better but still very tired, Tummy settled yesterday and right eye just a little blurry. Am going to have a little time on the sewing machine today as I finally cut out the (big) pieces of fabric for Billy's new bed cover yesterday- wore myself out and forgot to comment. Bless him, he's been using his old bed while he's been waiting, he's ok curled up but if he stretches out 1/3 of his body is on the floor! Hopefully I'll be up to colouring in the stamps for both my sisters birthday cards later.
Lots of hugs and happy thoughts for all of you, thinking of those struggling with life or absent, extra hugs if you need them. Enjoy the rest of ghe weekend and hope you all have an excellent week

ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of CAS but sometimes don't know when to stop. I thought the flowers were flat on the card but can see they are underneath the three windows.

Hi Sue, I love the simplicity of this card and the colours you chose for the flowers. I know what you mean about the CAS cards being more difficult - it's because you can't hide anything! A flower or a butterfly usually does the trick on a busier card but with this style there is no other way to disguise something.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all of today's winners, enjoy your prizes.
I did make a start on my craft room yesterday but it now actually looks worse than before because I have pulled out so much stuff to try and organise it. I have been out most of today so now need to knuckle down and get it finished.

Good evening Sue and the fabulous Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful card Sue, yes it's really plain and simple but it is so beautifully elegent and chic into the bargain. The pop of colour from the flowers just give it that wee bit to lift it for me. Thank you for continuing to inspire but also to bring the joy that you do into our lives. I hope that you are feeling so much better this weekend that you were last and that you are not being defeated by that number 9 bus that hit you and run over the top of you. Sending you some hugs just to get you back on your feet again flower.
Well, congratulations to all of this weeks winners especially our Maureen/ Muriel, i hope that you all enjoy investigating their potential when you receive your wonderful prize.
Well it has been quite a cold day up here at my beloved Ochils and they now have a fog hanging around them which is making them looks as if they are miles away instead of in front of me but i am looking forward to it changing to what used to be called Spring, you know when all the bulbs came through and stayed instead of like the now they have popped their heads up, decided it's too cold so went away back to sleep again under ground. I hope that you all have had a good weekend and to all those lucky enough(very tongue in cheek here) to be off with our little darlings called children i hope that you have a good holiday when you start back work.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, this may be one of your more simple cards, but it's really quite clever! One minute the flowers seem to be attached to the card, but look closer and they are recessed!! Very effective. Back to work tomorrow - egh! Hugs, Karen x
ReplyDeleteGood evening Sue,
ReplyDeleteI love this clean and simple card. The matting and layering gives it that extra something and it is just so balanced. Love love love it.
