My cards ~ Click on the images to see more details
A friend asked me to make some "plain and simple" note cards, no layers of cardstock, no ribbons, no bling, just "plain and simple" for her. Now, most of you know that CAS is just not my gig~I have to keep adding embellishments until...well, it's not a CAS card any longer :o)
However, I think I came up with as "plain and simple" a card as possible...she can take the ribbons off when I'm not looking ;oPI stamped the images of the bugs and flourishes, then added the Embossing Powder and heated with my Heat Gun. Also, cut out the top right corners of the card for a little more detail.

  3. I had to laugh - it's hard for me to do CAS too, and I could never have resisted that gorgeous ribbon :)
