Crafty Cardmakers CAS

Welcome to our latest challenge, hosted by Viv who has chosen the theme of CAS or Clean and Simple.

I found this challenge a little tricky as I love my layers and embellishments, so after 4 attempts (all fine, but they were crying out for ink or more embellishments, in my opinion) I decided this might just squeeze in under CAS.

I found a lovely card by Lindy Lou that I took my inspiration from.




I printed the flourish on my PC and added some die cut baubles by Spellbinder and a couple of hand tied bows.

I finished with a simple sentiment stamp by Inkylicious which was also cut out with a spellbinder die.

I couldn't resist adding a little distress ink around the edges and mounting it on some pearlescent blue card.

I also used this design to create some Anniversary cards as October/November seem to be the months for Wedding Anniversary's amongst my Family & Friends.  I have had a total of 7 to make, so decided to look for a really simple idea to make them in bulk.














I was really happy with them until my SIL pointed out that I had spelt 'tomorrow' wrong.  I still can't get my head around the fact I have been spelling it with a double m all these years and its wrong, I still keep doing it!!!!

    This is a wonderful CAS card. The colors are fabulous, and I like the glittery ornaments. It's the ribbon, though, that pulls the whole card together! Great job. Thanks for joining us at ScrapbookerPhD this week. Faith
