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:

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.
A very elegant CAS Hilary, and love the gold square! Also the matching envelope looks great!
It's a beauty, Hilary! Love your coloring & the design!
it is such a beautiful card, love your watercoloured flowers against the gold square ♥
Hilary... your card is so elegant... just love its simplicity! You were right to share it.

Beautiful card Hilary. So glad you shared it!! The colours of the heart shaped flowers and leaves is so vibrant and beautiful. Extra special with the metallic gold square in the background. Thanks for joining us at The Flower Challenge! xx
Beautiful card.

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.
