PP777 CAS Challenge from Jaydee

Happy Sunday, all!  Jaydee is our Paper Players hostess this week with a timely, fun Clean-and-Simple challenge: 


There are always lots of options for florals, right?!  For my card, I also chose to use the color challenge from Retro Rubber as well:


So here we go:


I am really trying to use some of my older stamps; these florals happen to come from a Paper Pumpkin kit; I would say it's at least five or six years old, perhaps older, because I haven't done Paper Pumpkin for a while!  I stamped the flowers and leaves on a piece of Basic White cardstock and watercolored them with Bubble Bank, Strawberry Slush, Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow inks.  I then fussy-cut them out and mounted them on a Bubble Bath frame on top of a Basic White card base.


 I also diecut a little cross-stitch pattern around the edge of the card--still keeps it clean and simple, but adds some interest!  Finally my sentiment is from Suite Sayings (2016), stamped in Strawberry Slush.  It is always fun to use some older stuff!  

I hope you'll play with our challenge this week!  Remember to keep it CLEAN and SIMPLE--minimal stamps, layers and embellishments!  Share it with us over at the blog!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

I really like those bold flowers. The frame makes a great link between flowers and sentiment while also showcasing the colour. Lovely CAS card - Jan Clothier

Just lovely, LeAnne! I love how you did the frame and the pretty flowers just pop with the Strawberry Slush color in the middle. Have a wonderful week!

What a lovely card, LeAnne! I can't take my eyes off the Bubble Bath and Strawberry Slush flowers. I love this layout with the pink frame. The cross-stitching is such a sweet little detail. Clean and simple perfection!

LeAnne, the florals are gorgeous and I love the frame paired with that cross stitch layer. The different stitching details on the layers add wonderful texture and your florals are beautifully colored. Thank you for rocking my challenge this week
