Why is CAS - clean and simple - so hard to pull off?? When elements are reduced and the background noise is not there everything else has to sit.
I am in awe of this style and wanted to try my hand at it again.
The vase is stamped directly onto the card base, the floral arrangement of golden twigs was actually a snippet of golden craft paper put to good use. It's a birthday card. I handwrote the text ("Armfuls of happiness").
Entering it into the challenges that inspired it:
We Love Stamping: June AG / or CAS - I was inspired by the CAS option
Crafty Chicks Challenge: #668 CAS
Addicted to Stamps: #448 Birthdays
Snippets Challenge: #456
Craft Rocket Challenges: #104 Use dies
What a fantastic CAS Snippets card this is Alice! I love it! I did smile at your comment about Dudley being intelligent how he learned after his tumble off the bed. The breeder told us he was a very intelligent little boy (I think he was he favourite in the litter of puppies) ans he certainly has proved that in many ways.

Agree with everything you say about CAS Alice, I too find the theme so difficult and is a 'challenge' for me.
ReplyDeleteBut I think you pulled it off here perfectly and please you shared your card with us at We Love Stamping this month.
