Ok, well for my cards today.... I decided to go for a more "clean & simple" look. I used the cute little "Daisy" stamp from Repeat Impressions, and I colored in each of the petals using my Copic markers. In order to give a little more depth to the background paper, I used the Swiss Dots folder in my Cuttlebug machine to emboss the kraft cardstock, and then I matted it onto a black base. I also matted the white circles and used one of the Spellbinders dies from the Ribbon Tags Trio set in order to stamp the sentiment on.
I usually don't tend to make a lot of "CAS" style cards. I love the way they look, however it is often very difficult for me to resist my constant urges to add more embellishments to a card. Haha... But I think I like the way these two cards turned out. So hopefully I will be able to make CAS cards more often and be able to expand my creative styles. =)
Hope everybody had a fabulous weekend! I will be back soon with more fun stuff this week, so be sure you come visit my blog again within the next few days! Thanks so much for reading! =)
