Clean & Simple with Make My Monday # 270

Here’s my CAS card:
I used watercolor paper for the front of the card, and just added a light Cloud Cover wash on the paper.
Clean & Simple:
- Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the pieces together
- The Secret Sea base measures 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
- The watercolor paper measures 4-18 by 5-3/8 inches
- After stamping the Secret Sea Prairie Grass on the watercolor paper, I trimmed along the bottom so that the grass stamp would be on the bottom edge
- The front sentiment, from the Prairie Grass stamp set, was stamped using Secret Sea ink on Cloud Cover cardstock, then cropped using a banner die from Stylish Shapes die set
- I needed to anchor the sentiment banner, so I simply added a length of the Cloud Cover ribbon
- It’s easy to adhere the ends on the back using the tear & tape adhesive
- When adding dimensionals to the back of the sentiment banner, make sure they will straddle the ribbon
- I finished off the front with three Cloud Cover dots
- The white card for the inside measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches and I stamped the sentiment and prairie grass in Secret Sea
- I used a piece of the Cloud Cover 6 by 6 inch DSP for the envelope flap and trimmed it to 2-1/2 by 6 inches
- Then, I punched a 1-inch circle from a scrap of Secret Sea DSP and ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
With that, I’d completed this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.
Thank you for stopping by today!
