Enjoy the little things . . .
My 5" x 7" card uses a digital image and sentiment from Beccy's Place.
I opened the "Simple Flower Bunch" image from the Simple Sentiments digital stamp set and the "Enjoy the little things" sentiment from the Narcissus digital stamp set and overlayed them together (inspired by Beccy's card HERE) to complete the design. I printed the image panel on X-Press It Blending Card, coloured with Copic markers, trimmed to size, matted on textured cardstock, trimmed to size using a Perfect Layers Ruler, adhered on to a 5" x 7" panel, then adhered the panel to a top folding card base. I made the card base by cutting two 5" x 7" 300gsm smooth cardstock panels,
scoring the "top back" at 3/4" then adhering the top panels together.
... of course there's more ... I made a second card, using this same "Simple Flower Bunch" image and style combined with the "love you" sentiment from the "Simple Sentiments" digital stamp set HERE
... and an even more CAS style card using the "love you" sentiment and "Simple Flower" image for the same "Simple Flower Bunch" digital stamp set HERE

I have entered my card in the August Challenge at Beccy's Place Challenges
You've done a wonderful job creating this collection of CAS cards Tracy, they are all gorgeous! I love the nice narrow borders you've added and your colouring has been fabulous on all of them.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Beccy
P.S. I think I might have called you Mel in my last comment... sorry about that Tracy! I came over from Mel's card to yours and proceeded to have a moment of brain fog.
Thank You Beccy :)
ReplyDeleteYou may have guessed that I'm a bit addicted to 1/16" borders lately, I love how easy my Perfect Layers Rulers make it to trim to size and I like the little pop of colour to accent or contrast with the image panels.
PS - no worries about the name, it's ever-so-easy to do
