The Paper Players PP725 - A Clean and Simple Challenge from Jan

Join us! It is CLEAN and SIMPLE week at The Paper Players.  Think lots of white space, minimal layers and embellishments. Jan is challenging us to create a CAS card that is MASCULINE.   

I love having simple cards like this one in my stash...just to drop a line to someone. Everyone, men included, love a shaker.  This is a small shaker filled with beads and polymer clay fish.  The bowl-like feel comes from layering a die cut piece of vellum between the top layer and the acetate.

Check out our fabulous design team.  These ladies work hard to inspire you each week.  Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.


Here's a quick recap of our challenge rules:
 
1.  Create a new paper project
2.  Upload your creation to your blog with a link back to us and provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge submission.
3.  Please link your card to no more than four challenges in total.

Enjoy!  I am looking forward to your inspired creations in the gallery.

That fishbowl shaker is fantastic. Great the way you've created the illusion of a bowl effect with a piece of vellum. And not it's not just masculine I think - I know I'd love it!

That sentiment tickles me and I adore your creative shaker fishbowl, Elizabeth! As Jan and Claire noted, really a fab card to send to anyone. And of course, you nailed CAS perfectly!

Elizabeth, not only is your card clean and simple, it is adorable to the max! The fact it is a shaker card ups the fun factor. A delightful card that anyone would love to receive!
