Aqua, clean and simple

Aqua clean and simple. I found it quite difficult for me to keep this simple, I'm not sure I do clean and simple, I tend to embellish things so there is no more room to embellish!  So this was a really good challenge for me to keep it "bare".  I found the blog simply less is moore  and thought the challenge of Aqua a good one for a snowy day in Suffolk. Yuk! I loath the stuff. I used papers from the Forever Friends black and gold collection,  which I changed to aqua tones,  and printed a 2nd sheet for my layer and flower where the transparency had been taken down by 50% thereabouts. I cut the flower from my Flower Shoppe cricut cartridge, and the band was made using 2 ribbons and fusing together on my Gypsy this was made using the Ribbons and Rosettes cartridge, very useful! The sentiment was computer generated onto safmat, which if cut with fancy edge scissors and burnished becomes almost undetectable. So actually I rather liked the end result, clean and simple. xx
