CPS 5th Anniversary: Day 3

Hello everyone! Back again with a card for Day 3 of CPS' 5th Anniversary festivities.  I decided to keep it CAS and do a white on white type of card.

I was inspired to make this card from an online class I joined: Clean and Simple Card Making. I must confess that I struggle with the CAS style. It's MUCH harder than it looks, lol! I've found that you really must have a good design to make this style work. And card design is something that I struggle with all the time!  The online class had a ton of tips and lots of examples, so Im glad that I joined.

Im entering this card into the following challenges:

CPS 5th Anniversary Day 3: Sketch #54

Moxie Fab's Cutting and Trimming Challenge: Make a project that has been cut or trimmed in an innovative way. I used my Fiskars trimmer to cut a square shape around the flowers while making sure that some of the leaves extended past the cut.  I then used my Cutterbee scissors to trim away the excess.


The Outlawz Sunday CAS Challenge: Melting Pot challenge. Mix at least 4 things on a CAS card. My items are the stamped image, Prismacolor pencils (used to color the image), Atyou Spica pen to add a subtle shimmer (hard to tell from the pic but it's definitely there IRL!) and my Linen and Canvas Impression Plate from PTI to give the focal image a bit of definition from the white card base. 

Thanks for stopping by!
