A Clean and Simple Card with a Touch of Elegance

Hello and welcome!

It's time already for a new theme at Allsorts challenge and this week it's my turn to host. I'd love for you to join in with my theme!

For this week I chose the theme of Clean and Simple with an option of Elegance. So if you like to challenge yourself a little bit more, you can include some Elegance on your  CAS card but any CAS entry will be just fine. We have 2 prizes this week, a  £15 store voucher from WOWVOW and a fabulous AALL and Create stencil from Colemans Craft Warehouse.

I do think most of my cards tend to be somewhat CAS so for this challenge I decided to go even simpler and left a lot of white space.

I struggled a bit with the "elegance" option but since I was the one who selected the theme I thought I should be including the option too :-) Finally remembered a Hero Arts stamp kit (February 2019 - now sold out) I received a few years ago and it's been a little while since I last used it, so out it came.

I started by adding a few score lines using a scoring tool. Then stamped the sentiment, an oldie from Stampin Up. Next I stamped the dancing couple from the Hero Arts kit onto a separate piece of card stock using Versafine Onyx ink and it's been cut out using the matching die which was part of the stamp kit. I wanted to add a piece of patterned paper, but then decided to keep it simpler and instead I used a thin strip of very sparkly card stock. If you're in the UK you can find similar card stock at WOWVOW. In the US you can find some options at Hero Arts (where my paper came from as part of another kit) and I also found this assorted glitter paper pack from Scrapbook.com. DCWV also has some pretty glitter paper packs at Amazon and maybe your local craft store (if it's stocked better than mine!!)

To finish it off, I adhered 3 shiny golden confetti pieces around the image which were part of the stamp kit as well.

You can see the sparkle and shine below.
