Pure and Simple


I made these little cards as my submission for the Inspiration Avenue team's weekly challenge - the theme this week was "pure".

I wanted to use just really subdued tones, and I started by collecting some  objects together for inspiration -
 
Though I had to fight my natural impulse to add a touch of red or teal, I'm quite pleased with the end result!

Not sure yet whether I'll add these to my etsy shop; I may use them as "thank you" cards for my next couple of buyers instead :)

You can see all the other "Pure" submssions at the Inspiration Avenue blog.

    Beauties! Also, it's so lovely when you get a thank you card from a seller. Such a nice touch.

    These are beautiful, Angie! I love the color scheme with the bit of cream thrown in. It looks purefect. ;D You did a marvelous job, and I know what you mean about fighting the urge to toss in a bit of red or teal. I am like that too.
    Xo,
