"I used to be able to make cards with lots of "white space" around the designs, but lately when I've tried to do this my cards just look sooooo naked!
So this week I'd like you to think small - not small cards, but small spaces of embellishment on regular sized cards.
You are allowed to cover no more than a 5x5cms area of your card with paper or embellishment - the rest of the card must be left plain.
How you use those valuable cms is up to you. So you may choose to split up those cms to use around your card, or use them in a block or a line. It might help to cut a few 5x5cm squares then cut those up to work out good ways of using your allotment. Making your whole card a miniscule 5x5cms is NOT an option!! Lets have no cheating (I know what you lot are like.....),but because I'm feeling generous, I'm going to let you add a SIMPLE greeting as extra to your 5x5 allowance! :-)"
So mine didn't look as naked my base card is only 10cm x 10cm.
Supplies used: - SU Stamp set Bodacious Bouquet, Scatter Sunshine Wheel, Whisper White, Brilliant Blue and Bashful Blue Cardstock, Brilliant Blue and Bashful Blue Ink, Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals, Paper Cutter & Paper Snips.

Very True Keryn, I always think my cards look naked too. Love what you have done here, the blue on white always looks crisp. TFS
Love the shade of blue and the stamp, Keryn!
I quite like this naked look, may use more of it as 10cm x 10cm are my usual cards.
I love this card! White space is definitely one thing I don't use enough of. It looks so elegant and the blue really pops. Great job!!
Wow what a challenge, you really came through though! This card is just lovely!!
I LOVE THE CLEAN LOOK OF YOUR NEW CARD KERYN,THE BLUE IMAGE IS GORGEOUS ON THE WHITE BACKGROUND.

Nice simple card Keryn. Looks really effective!
this is beautiful, Keryn! And, I agree, it's hard not to fill that space but when one can resist, the results can be beautiful!
Those blues are just beautiful. I love blue and white themes they always look so crisp
