Just A Touch Of Color

Hi crafty friends! Today I want to share a card that was directly inspired by this beautiful card I found on Susan Raihala's blog a while ago. I just loved the idea of keeping the entire design simple and only add a touch of color.


I am using Altenew's Peony Bouquet and only used two of the four layers for the peony. I wanted to keep the design light and simple and if I would have used more layers, the flowers would have too "heavy" for the design I had in mind.


I stamped only one of those flowers in color which makes it stand out against everything else and I also stamped the sentiment in color (couldn't help myself). With that minimal use of color, the card still appears very light and airy and your attention is drawn to the spots of color.


For the card base I used white card stock but ran my Delicata gold ink pad along the sides to make it shimmer. This just accentuates the elegant and airy nature of the card itself.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you got inspired!
