Welcome to a new week at The Paper Players. Ann has chosen the Clean and Simple Theme this week - back to nature: any plant or animal. Elizabeth's bright and cheerful colour combination brought out some great entries to the gallery. Full confession here. I made my card, then saw the small print: CLEAN and SIMPLE. Hmmm. I decided that the card just sneaked into the CAS category, especially since at The Paper Players we are not absolute minimalists in our idea of Clean and Simple. I think if I'd gone in with the Real Red and White Adhesive Peppermint Dots, I might well have disqualified myself though! I was playing with the Reindeer Fun bundle. I cut the circle-with-trees dies from the Basic White card front, then white embossed the stars around the top of the card. Then I added in some Pool Party Ink with a blending brush. I stamped the sentiment in Real Red, then attached a piece of DSP from Reindeer Days which featured a cute reindeer behind the cut out. And really, that's all there is to it. Easy, peasy! We look forward to seeing what you do with Joanne's sketch. You can see what the rest of the design team have done, and link up your entry, at The Paper Players page.
