Hello friends,
I am still on my journey to improve on my clean and simple card making skills and I can tell you it is a difficult style for me. I was inspired by the sketch for the new challenge at CAS[E] this Sketch to create this card. I used a much neglected die to cut the pop up butterfly heart shape and then added a few red butterflies to match the red polka dot washi tape. A gold die cut sentiment provided a little bit of bling. I hope you enjoy this CAS card as much as I did in creating it!
Challenges I entered:
- CAS(E) this Sketch #234 (ends 08/17) – See picture
- Little Red Wagon Challenge #406 (ends 08/16) – Use bugs, insects, slugs, etc.
- Moving Along With The Times Challenges #51 (ends 08/17) – Things That Fly
- Scrapy Land Challenges #71 (ends 08/16) – Anything Goes using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells. (Dies: Memory Box die ” Butterfly Heart” ( No 98778) — Sizzix Thinlits die “Celebrate” (660223))

It seems to me you have perfected your CAS style. Pretty and interesting, colorful, sweet, and very creative! I’m trying to work on CAS, too. I love the look as long as there’s color. Sometimes it’s easier to plunk a chunky embellishment on there, so to create something as beautiful as this and still CAS take a special skill.
