Kaboodle Doodles 119 ~ CAS

Our challenge this week at Kaboodle Doodles is CAS Clean & Simple, right up my alley :)
In case some of you have trouble making a CAS card which some do here is a definition for a CAS card 

What is CAS?
CAS is an acronym for Clean and Simple.

It's all about the design.
* not the technique
* not the tools
* not the embellishments

It's all about the design.
* Uncluttered
* lots of white or open space
* one main focal point

It's all about the design.

Clean & Simple
My card is one I made for my Daughter, this is her first mother's day.
To play along with us link your CAS card/project to the Kaboodle Doodles challenge blog before Sunday  May 20th
Supplies:
Stamped flowers: Verve (paper pieced)
Sentiment: Verve
Flourish and Tulip: Bo Bunny rub on
Buttons 

Mother Of All Blog Hops Day 2!

 Happy Mother's Day!!!
Welcome to the 3rd annual Mother of All Blog Hops sponsored by There She Goes Clear Stamps!  Over the Mother's day weekend, we (customers and trendsetters!) will be featuring some of our favorite There She Goes Clear Stamp sets!  Not only that, we're going to give YOU a chance to win some fabulous prizes!

To find out how, please go to the There She Goes’ blog and read the simple instructions.

My first card uses the set "Let's Get Together". I love to paper piece and this a fun set to do that technique with.  I am new to the TSG stamping company and I'm loving it more and more!  Each release brings something new and exciting.  Would be nice if my crafty budget would allow for all of them.

 My second card uses the set "Scootin' By" this set is the cutest and it also has an accessory set as well. I found this cute design paper in my stash and it went perfect with the image. I colored the image with Copic markers and added some shimmer to the scooter with a Spica glitter pen. Again I added some paper piecing on her dress. 

Please click on the InLinkz below and follow it to the next blog!  Thanks for stopping by and joining the hop with us this week.  I enjoy reading all of your comments!
