JAI 589 Just add minimalist - circles and thanks

Hello hello! It's time for my Just Add Ink Design Team share for this week's new challenge - Just Add Minimalist and I have a card to share using the new Rainbow of Happiness stamp-die bundle and Amazing Thanks die. I really had fun making this one & love how it turned out so I hope you like it too.

So what is minimalist art? I used this description on study.com and learned it includes simple ideas, geometric shapes, colour and repetition, so I tried to reflect these elements in my card. Let's take a look at it.

 

Are you wondering how I made the circles? I cut them with the clever rainbow edge die in the Rainbow of Happiness stamp set & die bundle.

 

The long rainbow edge die gives a decorative edge to a piece of card, as the cutting edge is only on the rainbow side (see the close up die pic). I created the circle by cutting the die once then lining up again to form a circle and to cut it a second time. The lines didn't all come out perfectly but I ignored my perfectionist side and just enjoyed the funky circle and line pattern. I arranged these down the card,

I cut one each in Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, and Just Jade card, and two in Misty Moonlight card then arranged them down the card.

 
The lovely Night of Navy 'thanks' die cut is from new Amazing Thanks bundle (also in the Amazing Silhouettes bundle). I cut 4 words and adhered them together to help them pop off the page.

Inside I couldn't resist using the leftover circles, again using an uneven pattern like I did on the card front.

I resisted any additional elements like my Wink of Stella and rhinestones-sequins as they didn't fit the minimalist vibe but I don't think they're needed.

So that's my minimalist card. What do you think - does it meet the brief? Leave a comment if you like it or have any questions. Now, head over to the Just Add Ink blog to see all our Team projects and get you thinking what you might like to do.
