Hello! I am playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches #345 Challenge.
For my CAS card, I combined a My Favorite Things die and stamp set (Die-namics Double the Smiles and All Smiles) with Carta Bella patterned paper and a Spellbinders flower (from the Die D-Lites Daisy set). I heat-embossed the sentiment from the All Smiles set with Ranger Red embossing powder.
On CAS cards, I tend to start out with the mindset of “Oh, this won’t take any time at all”! I quickly realize that because there are so few items on the card, the choices have to work just right. I obsessed a lot over the colors and patterned paper with this card.
Just love how the diecut colors match the striped paper, Jean! So fun with the little daisy!!
I totally agree – CAS cards are the hardest to make sometimes! Every little smudge or off-center or crooked piece shows, so you have to be extra slow and careful! But I love how it turned out!
So bright and cheery! Glad you joined us at FMS!
So bright and cheery!
I often think that “clean and simple” should be changed to “clean and time-consuming!” Funny how something that LOOKS simple can be anything but! Your obsessing paid off, though. These bright colors are so FUN and your “simple” design is awesome! Thanks for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches!
I did, thank you! lOve this heart warming card.
Oh I love this! So clean and so striking! I love your choice of bold colours. Thanks for joining us at FMS this week!
I agree with what you are saying about CAS cards. Sometimes I think they might actually be harder – because everything single thing counts!! I love the colors – definitely makes me smile!
