This card is so NOT what I had envisioned when I got this stamp set! It was going to be a classic kraft/white/subtle Easter card. But I saw this morning's Splitcoast Clean and Simple challenge and then saw this stamp set sitting square in the middle of my craft desk - I knew it could work. The Razzleberry adds a regal tone and the white would keep it fresh and peaceful.
The pink on the cross is actually glitter. Have you ever noticed that "clear" glitters generally have a color cast? I grabbed the nearest glitter and wish I would have looked more carefully. The clearest glitter that I have found is Martha Stewart's - I buy it in giant bottles at Michaels. This cross does not use Martha Stewart - had I stood up and walked three steps, I would have had that clear glitter. Teaches me to be lazy!

This is gorgeous, Kim! I really like the clean design with all of the beautiful elements you added. Thanks for the tip on the MS glitter, too. I have to check that out. Have a happy Monday! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this card - what a perfect Easter card....it says it all! Great design.
ReplyDeleteClean and beautiful, Kim! A wonderful color choice for Easter!
ReplyDeleteI am a lazy stamper too! I need to try more layers more often! But thanks for a giggle for the day! If you hadn't told us ... I would have thought the 'pink' was to match the RR! Gorgeous card, Kim! Hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteThe rich razzleberry is fab. Super treatment of your image. x
ReplyDeleteThe Razzleberry is totally regal and perfect for this image. And I think you can get away with the glitter having a slight colour to it since it's a pink colour and so keeps it relatively monochromatic. If it was a different colour all together it might have been a problem...
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Kim! I think the pink looks fine.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous and all the colors are perfect. I like the very slight shade of pink on the cloth as it could represent the love that was bestowed. Sometimes mistakes can bring on unintentional meaning or feeling. I love your card as is.
ReplyDeleteThe slight pink can actually be interpreted in so MANY different ways. I really love this card.
