This time it's my turn to host the challenge over at The Mod Squad. I have chosen to do a CLEAN AND SIMPLE card for this challenge. Clean and simple means there is a LOT of blank space, typically white, but I suppose you could use any color. Other than the focal, there is nothing on the card, except a greeting if you want. No embellishments or extras of any kind.

PRIZE
A $20 gift certificate to the Gina K Designs store!!!!!
Here is my card:
For this card I used a Gina K Designs stamp set by Theresa Momber called By the Sea 2 for the focal and the greeting. I stamped it on Gina K Designs 120# Heavy Base Weight White card stock and colored it with Distress Markers. I used the masking technique to make some of the grasses look like they were behind the Nautilus shell. Then I put the card together with some Gina K Designs Fresh Asparagus Card Stock for a mat.
Here are the Ingredients:
GKD White Card Stock
GKD Fresh Asparagus Card Stock
GKD By the Sea 2 Stamp Set
Distress Markers
Stickles for Sand
