Hello all! I'm delighted to be here with a new creation for you today.
Well, I say here... In fact, it's just a sneak peek here (a.k.a. a future Encore post!!), and if you'd like to see the whole thing, you'll need to hop over to the Country View Crafts Projects blog.
It's a very simple card, but quite atmospheric I think. I hope you'll have time to check it out. I'm going to love you and leave you for now, and see you again soon. See, I really am keeping things simple today.
The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.

The link drew a blank Alison but I can see from the sneak peek it has a beautifully dimensional bird on it.

This is perfect, we all need notecards to actually mail - not just admire for their fluff and intrigue. LOL! I love the watery gesso on kraft. <3
ReplyDeleteSimple, yes, beautiful, yes! Love that bird silhouetted against that dreamy background! Love your first quote on simplicity.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, your simple is simply amazing Alison. I think this card is just perfect - your bird imparts your sentiment perfectly. Xj.

What a great time to come back from vacation and see this card from you! Your ability to simplify on a card is a talent I don't possess and yet your simplifications speak volumes. This is a beautiful and to the point card filled with love and thoughtfulness. Especially great idea for all my Kraft scraps I have...love that!!
ReplyDeleteBig hugs to you,
