Pile It On #20 - Clean and Simple


It's time for another challenge over at Pile It On and I can tell you it was a real challenge for me.
The theme this week is "Clean and Simple" and I can tell you, I'm no where near a Clean and Simple style card maker.
But they don't call it a challenge for nothing so I just had to go with it!
And because Pile It On is all about combining challenges I had to make my card with a Mothers Day theme as there are lots of those around and with a Clean and Simple style being one of "less is more" there weren't really any embellishment challenges that I could use.

Top Tip Tuesday - Clean and Simple

Patties Creations - Mothers Day
Stamp Scrap and Doodle - Mothers Day
Critter Sketch - Mom
Kaboodle Doodles - Mom

So maybe not Clean and Simple in some eyes but definitely in my book!
I hope you have a wonderful Mothers Day and come along and play with us at Pile It On!
