AAA 35 and Cas-ology 138

AAA card challenge is looking for a bare bones, very clean card this week, which seems to me to fit in well with Cas-ology, where minimal looks fantastic every week. Although I do like a clean and simple card, I still have to pare myself back for challenges like these, so I hope I've managed to stay simple enough this week.






I like the way the leaves circle around the bloom to echo the shape and how that is reflected in the curlicues of the sentiment. I'm also very happy with the starkness of the white and black contrasting with the bright splash of the blossom.

Ingredients
Card: Whisper White for the card. Scraps of Crushed Curry, Calyspo Coral and Black for the bloom.
Stamps: Clearly Besotted Leafy Accents and Say it in Style.
Ink: Black for the sentiment, Wild Wasabi for the leaves and Calypso Coral to sponge the edges of the petals
Other: SSS Stitched Rectangle die, MFT Gerbera Daisy die
