KISS ~~ Keep it Simple Sister....

Time for a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash and Donna thought it would be a good idea to "Keep it Simple Sister" in other words Clean and Simple. Now this isn't usually my forte' but I did some research and found a simple card to make, although sometime simple isn't fast and easy.


I made the background with distress oxide inks did some die cutting of the flowers, the oval was cut with Nellie Snellen oval set, the thinking of you is from Impression Obsession. The flowers are the newest dies being around 2 years old,  When you do CAS there isn't much using of stash. If I was doing this card there would be sparkles, rhinestones, butterflies and more but I pulled the reins pretty hard.  


Love these flowers and have now just started using them, there are 6 in the set. and of course the oxide background, my favourite thing to do, fun and messy.


A sentiment from a fairly new set, but first time inking it, I love the sentiment, it is very comforting. 

Thanks for stopping by today and head over to the main blog there are simply beautiful inspiration over there.

CAS is the ULTIMATE challenge, imo, and easily takes me 10x longer than an ordinary card. plus sometimes i "pull the reins" and they just snap off lol. this is a BRILLIANT and amazing card by any conceivable standard, well done you!!! ♥♥♥
