Welcome to Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Company's
May Blog Hop!
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., May Blog Hop!

Both very pretty cards, Lois. You draw those frame lines so well. I do love that leaf and ladybug.
Two fantastic cards Lois!
love-both these cards Lois-you are showing todays set well
Lovely cards, your drawn frame finishes off the first one beautifully : )
I love both of these, but your lines are just wonderful!
Love the frame and butterflies on the first; but the second is my fav as yellow is my fav color! Great coloring!
Very pretty Simple is always nice...Lis
Love both of your cards, nice touch with the frame on the first.
Both cards are lovely. I especially like your first sample.
Gorgeous cards!!! Both are lovely!!!!!
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!
Lois both of your cards are lovely. I love the tent topper! Great CAS cards!!!
Your cards are beautiful, and the stamp set is wonderful. I have many many daisy in my flower garden and they grow like weeds, but I love them. Mary L Schreiber
So pretty! Love the framing on card one and those butterflies! And the yellow paper on card 2 is wonderful!
Lois, your CAS card is wonderful, love how the partial frame sets it off. I will have to try this Tent Topper style soon!
Lovely cards, Lois.
Beautiful cards Lois. I love the coloring. So bright and cheerful.
Very pretty cards - glad you added the butterflies - go well with the ladybird!
Lois,
Two very pretty cards - but I have to say the second is my favorite with 2 ladybugs!!
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
Cute, very cute! I have never tried a tent-topper card and this looks great!
Fabulous daisy cards!
Fond of Butterflies & LadyBugs. Your cards are very nice. Especially like how the flower petals pop off the paper for a 3D look.
