This card is for a couple of different challenges going on this week. At Stampin’ Sisters in Christ the challenge was to make a CAS (Clean and Simple) card. So I went to the Clean & Simple Stamping Blog, which is a wonderful resource for a great CAS design, to check out their weekly sketch. Well I {loved} it! So I played along. Here it is.
There’s still a week left to play along in my sketch challenge. If you haven’t seen it, check it out HERE. In conjunction with the challenge, I’m giving away a sweet brand new set by Stampin’ Up called “Hoop-La-La.” So cute!
Thanks for dropping by today.
Happy Crafting!

Susan – I love this card! I love how you punched the butterflies from different paper and I also love how the sentiment is 2 different fonts. Thanks for joining us this week at SSiC.

The black cardstock is so striking and I love the butterflies too! Great card, Susan!
What a beautiful card! I never think to use black, or any other dark color, for a background, but it sure does work here. Love it! I’ll have to give that a try. TFS!
