CAS Fun With CASual Fridays.....

Hello dear friends: My teammates and I over at THE FLOWER CHALLENGEhave a new one for you to play in the month of October. 

The theme is CAS (Clean and Simple), which basically means there should be a lot of white, empty space, not many embellishments, and minimal layers.

Once again this month we have a fabulous prize of $25.00 for you to win that the fabulous Michele from CAS-ual Friday Stamps has generously donated, she also gave all of us at The Flower Challenge some of her stamps to play with for this fun challenge so, I hope you get inspired and come and join us in our gallery.

Here's my card.

I used the two flower images on this set from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps called Mon Ami, the stems are also part of it.

I stamped the flowers with Versamark ink and heat embossed them with Pearlescent embossing powder, I used a set of Niji Pearlescent  Watercolors to color the flowers, the stems were stamped with Altenew "Forest Glades" ink.

******************************************************

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like. 

The sentiment and leaf are from the set.

We have a new Guest Designer for the month of October, her name is 

Tina Magnusson, check our her blog to see her beautiful creations and leave her some comment love.

I hope you go check THE FLOWER CHALLENGE to get more awesome inspiration from all my teammates, check their blogs to see how they created their beautiful cards.
