Monday and another week begins - let's make it a good one!

Morning readers,

With lots of blogs closing their "virtual" doors, how lovely is it to see one OPENING? AND it's a CAS challenge - one of my fave card genres - nothing for it but to have a go! I had my Visible Image collection out yesterday .... I LOVE the INKognito flower and today's make deploys the smaller scale version which came free with Craft Stamper some while ago - IMHO perfect scale for this make...


My card
And a closer view of the image panel
 
The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my envelope

Materials used:
  • White A2/C5, 250gsm, card and matching sized envelope
  • Two pieces of white card cut fit
  • One piece of crushed strawberry (DCWV) textured card, cut to mat
  • Visible Image mini INKognito flower (magazine freebie) stamped using Memento rosebud ink
  • Ranger Letter-It (magazine freebie) sentiment stamped using Versafine Clair morning mist ink
  • Diamond stickles (on the card front only) to bling up the flower


I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. Perfectly CAS - challenge No. 1 - FLOWERS
  2. Happy Little Stampers - September CAS challenge - PINK AND grey
  3. AAA Cards - challenge No. 149 - UP TO ONE THIRD + (optional) USE AN INLAID DIE

I also have this CS freebie - I love it and often wonder if I should get the bigger version. But your card has shown me how much impact the little one can have - love this! Thank you for joining us at Inkspirational Challenges.

This VI flower is very appealing and doing a repeat stamping to make a border of it works beautifully Kathy and I love the sparkle on the flowers and the lovely large sentiment. x

A lovely Clean and Simple Card. I could see how one could make a collection of these cards, using different colours. I love your use of stickles to add a bit of bling! Thanks for joining us at Perfectly CAS.
