Another Clean and Simple Flower

Hi!

I'm back with another CAS card. I seemed to have a thing about CAS flowers lately. This type of card is nice to go in my Operation Write Home box too. I am going to make a couple more of these and change out the sentiment on each one. Since it is for OWH, the inside has to stay blank. I usually add an additional white sheet, so there is plenty of room to write a long letter. Okay, so on with the card. I call this one "Friendship Garden".

I used a Rubber Stampede tulip stamp and a sentiment from See D's. I especially made this a friendship card because the sentiment was given to me by my friend Jude Haggerty. She cleaned out her stamping stuff and blessed me with some super fabby stamps. Thanks Sweetie! I am loving all of them. There was plenty of goodies to share with my stamping buddies too.

The tulip and sentiment were stamped with Coffee Bean Brilliance pigment ink and heat embossed with clear powder. I added texture with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I added a layer of dark brown CS and the card base is cream. Here is a close up.

I used two brads and little loops and threaded a plaid ribbon through the loops.

And, here a few super fun challenges for Friendship Garden:

Pink Gem challenge: Use one or more of buttons, bows, brads,beads. I used brads and a bow.

Well, I guess that's all for me today. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
