Lollipop Crafts #70 - CAS

Happy Monday everyone!
Hoping you all had a terrific weekend.  As you know I was busy, busy, busy this weekend.  Crafting that is.  Hoping to share some of those with you all soon.  But for now, I have a CAS aka Clean And Simple card to share with you in honor of our new challenge at Lollipop Crafts.  So it's pretty simple, create a clean and simple card.  I know I know, this might be one of thee hardest kinds of cards to make for some of you, but I think this would be a fun opportunity to step outside the box and see if you can.  I know how hard it can be, but with some fun papers and a cute image you too can accomplish one.

Oh, and did I forget to mention that there is a prize up for grabs this week?  Oops!  My bad!  Our lovely sponsor is none other than Meljen's Designs.  What are you in the running for?  How about 4 digis, of your choice, from the Meljen's shop?  Yep, so make sure to keep your card clean and simple to be considered for the prize.  Besides being in the running for the prize you can also be in the running to be in our top 3.  If you need some inspiration or not too sure what clean and simple might be hop on over to Lollipop Crafts and see what the rest of the T-Team is showcasing.

For my CAS card I took a page out of my blogging friend, Donna Mikasa's book.  She is the queen of CAS.  I just love how she takes an image and makes it the focal point on her cards.  Please make sure to visit her blog if you haven't already.  I decided to case this adorable card she created with the new Sister Stamps image, Daba.  I loved the white on white with Daba as the focal point.   Here is my card using another Sister Stamps image, Kiyomi.

I used the reverse wonky rectangle Spellbinders to cut the card and image, then using distress inks peeled paint & crushed olive I added some color to the inside of the image still making her the focal point.  The sentiment is from the newest AmyR collection called Be Happy Sentiments and I punched it out with a Stampin' Up circle punch.  I thought it was perfect for that spot in the corner.   I'm not too sure you can see unless you click on the picture, but the card base is actually embossed with daisies.  That's how the paper came when I bought it from Hanko Designs.  The ribbon is from my stash.  And there you have it, a clean and simple card.

Alrighty friends, hope you liked my clean and simple card.  I had a lot of fun making it and sharing it with you.  Now it's your turn!  Create your CAS card and directly link up on Lollipop challenge # 70.  Good luck, and most of all HAVE FUN!!

Mahalo for stopping by!  Have a fantastic Monday!
Hugs,
Leanne
