Clean and Simple - or just plain boring?!!!

I thought I'd try my hand again at a CAS card, but I don't think I like it at all!! I just want to keep on adding to it but have held off - it takes nerves of steel! I'll leave it be for a while and see if my hands itch to add some gems or a ribbon, lol! I haven't even done the inside yet in case I decide to take it apart and start again!

I am submitting this card into two challenges, the Quixotic challenge to use black, white and one other colour and the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge to do a clean and simple card....


Paper/cardstock: Bazzill cardstock
Stamps: CC Designs Swiss Sweater Birgitta
Mediums: Copic markers
Accents: American Crafts rub on sentiment
Tools: Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder, Nestabilities large scallop rectangle die, corner chomper

I love it Mary J but if you want to add something but not overdo it, how about a little glitter to her wings? You know me and glitter!! Unless that's against the rules of a CAS card which I know nothing about lol. xx

Nothing simple about CAS cards is there. Its so hard not to keep adding to them. Well, I find them so hard to do anyways. You on the other hand have done a beautiful job. Your card is sweet and definitely not boring.

I love your card and definitely do not find it boring. Your coloring is beautiful. I also find it so hard to make CAS cards. I guess I just love the glitter and sparkle too much lol! This is perfect.

Well, I like it! The focus is on the beautifully coloured image and I don't think the card needs embellishing.

Know what you mean mary, I always feel the card is a bit naked when i do this type. The dark blue you have used really sets it off though so you totally aced it.
