Welcome to my blog!
From x stitch I moved into card making - now I am playing around with mixed media! I am taking part in different workshops and with help from crafty pals, learning about different mediums and techniques. Hope you feel inspired to create after a visit to my blog - Happy Crafting!

Clean and Simple
This week at Digi Doodle Shop Challenges the theme is clean and simple. The general definition of this is clean white (or other colour) space and minimal embellishments. Put that bling and frippery (is that a real word?) away and show us something simple.
For my card I used the Calla Lily Set from the shop, included in the set is individual flowers and leaves so you get a selection of images to choose from!
Coloured with promarkers,
Embossed with cuttlebug strip.
Rik rak ribbon from the Ribbon Girl.
Corner punch by Martha Stewart.
I must admit to not knowing much about flowers apart from what a rose and tulip looks like, but I was convinced calla lilies only came in white! Before I coloured my image in my sister bought me this lovely gift…
Calla lilies in dark purple!! I googled the images and they come in all sorts of colours! I opted for dusky rose as I just love that colour!
Ok , you can use any image you want but if you use a Digi Doodle image your entry will count twice, and these lilies are just perfect! Don’t forget to visit the Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the team have created!
I will be entering this card into the following challenges;
Less is More - circles (2 circles - the image and the backing)

Morning matey,
Fabulous card and, unless there are rules against it, this entry would work on the LIM blog too as there are multiple circles (around your image and the punched detail).
Happy Thursday

Love your punched corners too.

Very pretty card Debbie, I love these calla lilies and I didn't know they came in purple! Love how you've done the corners of your card. hugs Donna x
Great CAS card! I love the flowers, too. I also like how you punched the bottom of the card. Hugs, dj
Gorgeous card Debs - I also did not know that Calla Lilies came in any other colour than white - that purple one is fab.

Gorgeous CAS card Debs, lovely image.
Re my promarker containers - they're just cheap tubs that I bought in Ikea, and when I'm finished colouring they hook on the rail you can just see on my first pic, under the shelving. Lisa x
Stunning card! I love how you've placed the flower. Very nice touch. XX
Thanks for the nice comments on my blog. Love your creations! I especially like the corner punch you've used on this project.
I love purple calis. I have several of these lovely plants in my garden. Lovely CAS card. Nancy

Lovely card Debs
Pretty lily
i think it may have worked better nearer the bottom, just my opinion, no offence
Thank you

Lovely card Debs, I have to agree with Mandi in that I think the panel would have been a little happier with a little more space above it.
It's great whatever.
Thanks so much
