Clean and Simple

I found a new shopping site recently (got some really lovely 6" paper pads and fantastic service!) and with it a new challenge site, too: Claudia & Company.  Their challenge #80 is Clean and Simple.  We all know that this is a real challenge for me, as I love to layer on as much as I can fit on a card lately, but this style is one I need to learn to do, so here is my entry:


I knew I wanted to do something with lots of clean space and my eyes lit on my silhouette stamps.  You know me, I had to get a little bit of pattern in there, so I chose my favorite music paper, which is a creamy tone and black.   There was my palette, and I even had a sentiment that went with it.  

supplies: cream and black cardstock, The Paper Studio "Textured Cream Sheet Music", versafine onyx black ink and clear embossing powder, Hero Arts CG271 Large Blossom, CL342 Everyday Sayings

    Elegant! Love the flower stamp over the music notes and that you left a little bit of a frame of music.
