I've decided to try my hand at some Clean and Simple cards during this month's blog hop. So each day I will have one CAS card and one more-involved card. Here is my Oopsy Daisy CAS card:


Even though this card is a one-layer card, it is actually my least clean and simple card of the week. After stamping the bunch of daisies, I colored them with Copic markers. I added the sentiment at the top and drew the "frame line" around the edges. I couldn't help but add the butterflies. Thus, not so CAS!


A few weeks ago Splitcoaststampers had as its Friday Free 4 All challenge the Tent Topper card.  It had been a long time since I had made one of these cards, and I enjoyed it so much that my second card today is a Tent Topper card.  It's pretty self-explanatory.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my cards today. Be sure to check out all the team members' blogs and comment on them for a chance to win a free stamp set.   Lois (that's me), Vicky,  Anne,  Pat G.,

Gorgeous cards!!! Both are lovely!!!!!

MariLynn said...

Lois, these are so pretty. I had to laugh when I read about your not so CAS card. I try really hard to make some of my cards CAS, but I'm not too successful. For me CAS is a relative term! I love the texture on you tent topper card!

Jane said...

Two very pretty cards - but I have to say the second is my favorite with 2 ladybugs!!

Winnie and Patty said...

Wow Lois--both of these cards are beautiful!!! I love the 3 daisy card in multi-colors, but my favorite is the tent topper card. That's my new favorite technique right now!!! Thinking about doing a tutorial for Speedy TV on the technique! TFS

Great cards. (You can still call your first card CAS even with the butterflies!) Thanks for sharing

Ravengirl said...

Cute, very cute! I have never tried a tent-topper card and this looks great!

Fond of Butterflies & LadyBugs. Your cards are very nice. Especially like how the flower petals pop off the paper for a 3D look.
