Something different...

I find it very difficult to enter the "Clean and Simple" challenges and I had to sit on my hands to stop me from adding flowers, ribbon, charm... I have chosen to put a vintage photo on my card - I used to make a lot of vintage cards before I started my blog - this one comes from Artchixstudio.


The papers - actually they are more like cardstock - are from My Mind's Eye and the ticket is from Tim Holtz.
My card will enter the challenges : "Vintage Dahling ! " with CES Challenges, "Vintage, Retro" with Polka Doodle, "Y is for you can choose" with Alphabet Challenge and "Clean and Simple" with Picture and Scrap. Happy Crafting !

This is gorgeous, I struggle with clean and simple too and totally understand the feeling that you want to keep adding more but this card really doesn't need anything more it's beautiful and I think you have done a brilliant job of clean and simple
