CAS

Today a new challenge is up and running at

The Sisterhood of Crafters

and our lovely hostess is Nancy!

She has chosen the theme CAS (clean and simple).

CAS usually means not many layers, 

few if any embellishments

and lots of white space.

I kind of failed on a couple of them...

but I do have lots of white space!

My intentions for this card came to me 

in the middle of the night.

I wanted to stamp my image on my card front,

make a mask, 

then stencil my heart using an oxide over that.

Well part of it came true, 

but dumb me used a left over negative heart

for my stencil which was fine, 

but I didn't pay attention to the fact

that the right side of my stencil had a very narrow edge and I 'went outside the lines' you might say'.

I hated the thought of having to start over, 

so I die cut it out instead,

plus I was thinking my Copics would of bled through my card front anyhow,

so all is well, right?

Oh heck NO, 

because as I colored, 

my teal Copic is VERY wet and bled

outside the lines on the very last place I was coloring,

so I grabbed my blender pen 

to see if I could take some of it offwith that,  

EXCEPT I grabbed a C00 Cool Gray pen by mistake

(they look the same..lol) adding more drama to the mess...

now what to do??  

I grabbed a tiny little flower and glued it over

most of the mess....geez!!

I think it kind of works, 

and it is only ONE TINY embellishment..

so that is about as CAS as I get with this card lol!

The cute little stamp is from Santoro, 

called The Pretend Friend,

it is #3 in the series, there are 40 of them I think, 

I own five so far.

I bought them online at Joanns.com when they have their 40% off stamps

which makes each little stamp a mere $1.49.

I know they don't appeal to everyone, 

but they make ME happy!!

So that's MY story and I am sticking to it!!
