Lively Leaves


Morning, everyone!  Here's my try at clean and simple.  CAS designs are something I really struggle with... After many attempts that ended in the trash, I  finally created a CAS design that works without being blah.  Kudos to the creators of all the fabulous CAS designs on the web...You have my deepest respect and praise cause clean and simple sure isn't easy!

For this card, I used a Doodle Pantry set called Lively Leaves.  The leaves were paper-pieced (digitally)  The sentiment is also from the same set..

I will be entering my card in the following challenges:
Digi Choosday Crafting Challenge Week 45 -- CAS (clean and simple)
2 Cute Challenge #119 -- Orange, Yellow and Brown Coior Theme
Cardz 4 Guys Challenge #44 -- Thanksgiving or Thankful
Melonheadz Friends Challenge -- Add a Sentiment

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great week and stay warm!

  14. I think you did a fab job at CAS. And I agree, it's not always the easiest thing. Wonderful corrugated additions to the banner and strip. It adds such great texture.
