For today's Clean and Simple Challenge, to use bling! I chose Burgandy Stickles...all these lovely samples of trees today made me want to dig one out of my forest....chose Hero Arts today! Used PTI Fresh Snow ink inside a negative chipboard piece leftover, then stamped tree afterward with Black Stazon...added doodles around edge first with White Inkessentials pen and black Zig pen...those things are the best! And ever since Nichole Heady featured a card on her blog with "flicked" up edges, I cannot STOP doing it! It is a very handy tool for someone who cannot cut straight lines, hee!

This is really pretty! I love the burgundy stickles....actually I love every inch of this pretty card.
Word of advice: It's okay to "flick" your cardstock, but don't flick your boogars cuz that's gross! (yes, I am working hard to remain on your naughty list---hee!)

wonderfully done, Kelly. I love the silhouetted tree image and the burgundy sparkle. I really like how you flicked up the edge and the stamped bg pattern. tfs
