The super talented Anne Marie has a great CAS (Clean And Simple) challenge for us this week at the Paper Players:
I decided to really focus on the CAS aspect of this challenge, because I often struggle with this. And struggle I did — I have several versions of this very simple card in my trash can. Either I didn’t line the two layers up properly, or I stamped the sentiment crooked, or I got a random smear of ink on the white card stock, or somehow otherwise messed it up. I was quite frustrated with this little card by the time I finished. Guess I need more practice with CAS, huh!?
I hope you can join us in this challenge. Meanwhile, you can check out the other designers’ creations here:
Enjoy your Sunday! Thanks for stopping by!
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Delicate Doilies, Regarding Dahlias (sentiment)
Ink: Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, Basic Black
Paper: Whisper White
Embellishments: Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Large Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Gorgeous CAS and not so simple card?! I can sit there for long periods of time with the simplest card! It was worth the effort! 🙂
Clean and simple blingy perfection! Sorry to hear about your frustrations, I know all about how that feels. The end result is fabulous, though!
Love this gorgeous card! Just perfect.
Amy, CAS stresses me out too! I had a chuckle about the little smear of ink, because that drives me bananas, too. Your card came out beautifully! I love the raised layer and the big, bold sentiment! Perfect! 🙂
