Joanne asked the CCEE Stampers to make a CAS sympathy card this week. When I think CAS, I think: one layer/minimal imaging/lots of white space. I think I achieved that with my card.
To make my card I first embossed a Labels Five shape into the center of the card. Then I stamped the image inside the die and sponged around the edges. It's hard to see the embossed frame, but you can definitely see the sponging. I used two different stamp sets from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company, on my card: Pussy Willows and Oopsy Daisy.
If you'd like to try your hand at a CAS Sympathy card, join us over on the CCEE Blog and link your card up at the end of the post.

fabulous sympathy card
Lois, this card is beautiful! I love the shadowing inside the nestie, and that bird from MFP is still oone of my favorites. Great job, my friend.
I love this subtle sympathy card, it is beautiful.
Beautiful card!
Lovely and beautiful, Lois! I love how you used the Nestie shape on this for your one-layer card and the soft sponging is perfect.
Lois, that is just so sweet. There are some really gorgeous CAS cards this week but you know me and birds - I think this has to be my favourite for that sweet little chickadee and your lovely sponging. I really like dry-embossed frames for adding a little something extra to one-layer cards.
Lois,
Pretty and elegant!
Wow such a beautiful and C&S card. Love the stamps used. I have the Pussy Willows on my next MFP stamp list. TFS AJ-
It's a beautiful CAS card, Lois. I do love that sentiment for sympathy cards. The image is beautifully done.
