Ink Outside The Box With Diane: Krafty Chicks Challenge #703: CAS

Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

Are you ready for this week's challenge? On the third week of the month, I'm the hostess and we are looking for CAS. There's a wide interpretation to CAS (Clean And Simple), so just have fun with it.

I do apologize for being a little late with this post. I did try three times to create something CAS and they all ended up with a little more of this and a little more of that. All the while this card was perfect for CAS week and was quietly sitting on the sidelines awaiting me to see it. I had set it aside while having another craft session and forgot all about it.

Now, here's my CAS Challenge card:

I cased Elaine Smith's (a Facebook find) fancy fold with the curved flap and subtle embossed lines down the left side (used the scoring blade on my trimmer every 1/4"). And believe it or not, this card is mostly DSP. Even the focal image!Here's a close up:

A little fussy cutting later and colouring with Stampin' Blends, the image is now more vibrant. I did use a Micro pen to outline the bird and flowers.And to finish of the focal element, a simple sentiment and a few embellishments.

No card is complete without finishing the inside with a little more DSP. Cuz we all have lots of that in our collection. Same goes for the envelope. Keep it simple!
