Krafty Chicks Challenge #799: 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. I always have a difficult time with the true CAS design of lots of white space but I've come to realized after all this time that there's a wide interpretation to CAS (Clean And Simple). So just have fun with it.

#799 CAS

We are just one week away from Christmas, I hope you're ready. My cards have been done months ago, but they haven't made it to the post office yet. EEK! I still have two more gifts to buy and then wrapping. The menu is finalized. So not much more to worry about here.

I think this flower looks like a peony or it could be a double poppy too. For this card, I went with bright pink because I wish my peonies were this colour. Mine are a light soft pink, still pretty and very fragrant. I used my blending brush and Melon Mambo ink to create the ombre effect on the embossed specialty paper.   

 

Products used:

• Stamp Set: Simply Said, Garden Blooms
• Card Stock: Thick Basic White, Basic Black
• DSP: Irresistably Yours 
• Ink Pads: Memento, VersaMark, Melon Mambo
• Stampin' Blends: Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Pool Party 
• Accessories: Heat Tool, White Embossing Powder, Blending Brush, More Messages Die, Gallery Blooms Die, Banner Die, Purple sequins
   

No card is complete without finishing the inside with a coordinating banner. Same goes for the envelope. Keep it simple!
