The Flower Challenge #70

 

So many of my very favorite card makers have adopted the Clean and Simple style of cardmaking - it's my favorite, too!   I'm very happy to invite you to join us this month at The Flower Challenge as we celebrate the CAS style while incorporating our favorite florals, too!

I have a new foiling set from Spellbinder called Magnolia Glimmer Blooms that includes the die to cut those florals out.  Perfect for a CAS card.  I used silver foil for the floral and added a bit of interest to my white space with a die I borrowed from my friend, Marcia.  HEY, did I mention she is our Guest Designer this month??  Yay!


Plenty of texture and dimension but still managed to keep it clean! 

Join me over at The Flower Challenge to see how the team, and guest represented their own CAS style right HERE.

I have been away for a few days so have got behind. am in catch up mode now and this is a real beauty. I am going to have to seek out that background die and I think I might succumb to a hot foil machine too! xx
