Addicted to Stamps - CAS Challenge #1

Wow Wednesday comes around quickly ~

Good morning!  The challenge over at Addicted to Stamps this week is 'Clean and Simple'.  I tend to do CAS more often than not so this was right up my alley.


Unfortunately I needed to make two sympathy cards last week.  I went for a nice simple 4x4" Whisper White card base and layered a 3.5x3.5" mat with my three layered flower from the Creative Elements stamp set.  I inked it up in the retired Ruby Red and added a little Champagne Shimmer Mist.  The sentiment is from PTI.

Take a look at what the ATS design team have come up with.  Lots of CAS goodness so I hope you're inspired to join the challenge this week.

I'll pop back and show you my other CAS card tomorrow.

  2. Hey P, I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering how you are doing, and then I saw the comment you left for me on my blog. Thanks so much for that. Would you believe that in trying to approve it on my phone, I accidently deleted it. OMG what a goose. Last time I do that, as it's not the first time I've done it. Hope you and GK are doing well - thinking of you often :)

  3. Gorgeous white space; it just makes that flower pop so much. Sympathy cards are the most difficult to make but simple and elegant is a great way to go for them.
