Simple & Clean Card: Fresh Vintage

This Fresh Vintage A2 card focuses on a column of little flowers and a limited color scheme: pool party, calypso coral and whisper white. The Everyday Enchantment brads add a nice, dimensional touch. If I were to create this with the stamp set and Stampin' Up! supplies, I would heat emboss the flowers with white embossing powder, cut them out and adhere them to the card with dimensionals to "pop" up.

Pool party is definitely one of my favorite 2011-2012 In Colors. It can be used on bright, playful cards with cheerful colors, such as poppy parade, calypso coral and lucky limeade... and it is versatile enough to be placed with subtle, quiet colors like whisper white and basic grey.

The A2 card shown above feels "asian inspired" because I could imagine the patterns from the strips of Everyday Enchantment DSP on washi (Japanese paper). There is not much layering, just the relatively clean layout with straight lines and touches of color. The focal image is from the Fresh Vintage stamp set. A slight "dusting" or sponging effect was made around the edges with Soft Suede.
