Craft Your Passion #136 Clean and Simple

Its another Monday so that means its time for another Craft Your Passion Challenge.  This time we are asking you to create a clean and simple project.  Here is what I came up with:

Clean and simple is not my usual go-to style but, I do like to make CAS projects from time to time.  This, however, usually only happens when I am inspired to make a CAS project, so creating one on demand is a bit more difficult for me.  Once I got going though everything came together nicely.  I started with an image from Bugaboo Stamps.  They have a series of stamps called "Love Blocks", and I chose the one called "With Love".  I thought the pretty simplicity of it would be perfect for this challenge.

I printed the image on white card stock, trimmed it out and corner rounded the corners.  I inked the edges for a bit of interest and added some glitter pen to the image.  I decided to keep the colour scheme fairly simple, so I chose a white card base and cut a panel of white that I dry embossed with my Cuttlebug.  I inked the edges of the panel and the card front, and added some ribbon to the panel before adhering it to the card base with foam squares.  I added a bow to the middle strip of ribbon and added a few hat pins.

I love how this card turned out, which leads me to believe I should make CAS cards more often!  :)

Now its your turn.  Simply create a project using the CAS style and link it up at Craft Your Passion Challenges by Sunday, November 18th.  There are lots of prizes to be won so make sure to visit the blog to what they are.
