Mo's Digital Challenge #19 - Clean 'n' Simple

Every week (sometimes every day!) I spend time with a piece of card, some patterned papers, ribbons, buttons and all manner of colouring implements and wait for the creative fairy to visit.  Sometimes she comes quickly and before I know it a card has made itself right in front of my eyes.  Other times she dithers about a bit, undecided whether to drop in or not, before grudgingly sweeping by for just long enough to kick me up the mojo and flying off again.  But this week, Dawn Burnworth has really upset the crafty fairy by deciding to challenge us to keep it simple.  No papers, no embellies (save a single ribbon), just clean and simple.

Use white or cream cardstock, your image from Mo's Digital Pencil, and one ribbon.. it's that simple... and, no additional layers!

 Anyhoo, the crafting fairy has stomped home in disgust so I had to manage this one all on my own!

Papers: white cardstock from my cupboard!

I love this image and have been waiting for a reason to colour it.  For this challenge I wanted an image that would stand on its own and look happy to be there.  This one is perfect, don't you think. I coloured with my Prismacolors, although I wish I'd had the courage to try my Copics on this one.  Perhaps when I've bought my next set and have a few more colours to go at. I don't have many mid-tones and although I know I can do clever things by picking up a darker colour on a lighter nib, etc., so far it's only theory and I've not yet practiced.  All in good time.

I punched the edge of the card with my Martha Stewart border punch and threaded some ribbon through. And there you have it - simple!

Off to Mr Linky then and to check out the other beautiful creations that have been submitted.

Happy crafting
