Simply CAS

Today I am sharing a card that I made a while back but for some reason I haven't posted it yet (I do have quite a lot like that), so I thought I would put that right today as I quite like it. Sometimes I look back on cards and don't like them much, but this one I am still pleased with, so that must make it worth sharing.


The flowers were stamped and coloured with water colour pens, cut out with the matching die and mounted it on a small square of gold card.


The sentiment is heat embossed onto the coated card base. I added interest by stamping the image onto a paper insert.


I hope you will think it is a simple and effective CAS card.

I am sharing this at:
CAS on Friday - Flowers




Supplies:
Cardstock: Mixed media paper; Adorable scorable coated card; 160gsm paper for insert
Ink: Stabilo watercolour pens
Stamps: Happy Hibiscus, Tonic Studios and matching die; Simply said by Uniko

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Such a pretty card, and so rich eventhough its CAS. The bold colors are so pretty. The gold foil is such a nice landing spot.

It's beautiful, Hilary, and I'm glad you decided to share it. I love how the subtle satin shine of the gold in the background with the brilliant colors of the flora and foliage. And that heart shape it forms is really brilliant! Simply beautiful!

Beautifully elegant Hilary, I so wish I was brave enough to give CAS a proper try. I've attempted it this morning as one is required and needless to say it's anything but by the time I finished.
