A Simple CASE!

I had good intentions of getting back here yesterday with another card or 2 to show you.....unfortunately my inspiration was no longer flowing so I packed up and watched Big Bang Theory with my daughter instead.

Today however is another day, and I thought it would be easier to kick things off by finding myself a card I admire that someone else created and then do my own version of it!  That idea worked a treat!

This is the card I drew my inspiration from today, and it was created by my friend Laurie in the US!  She nails the CAS style so well each and every time, and I could spend hours just looking at her blog. I urge you to pop over and visit her land of Clean And Simpleness and be sure to have a cuppa in your hand or even a packed lunch cause you might be there for a while.......just sayin!

Let me show you what I came up with based on her card!


I'm not sure what excited me more about this card, whether it was the fact that I busted open my new reel of denim ribbon from SU or the sheer excitement of making a card in less than 1/2 an hour! lol 

The little tag is actually cream, although it shows hear as white thanks to my excellent photography skills (yes I'm joking!)  and the little rose I bought from Lucy Dillons For Brides which is a great little craft shop here in Mackay. 

I think overall  it's a pretty self explanitory card, but if you do have any questions please feel free to email me!  Hope you like it!

Have a great day!

That ribbon was on my 'gotta get' list. Is that a text embossing folder? Off to peruse that blog...

Actually, love, your photography skills are superior, 'cos that tag looks cream!! Love your use of the denim ribbon, and that gorgeous flower; what a fabulous combination.

What a great take on her card! I really like that denim ribbon... it didn't really appeal to me, but you might have changed my mind :)

I'd love to know how you did that bow! Its gorgeous! Also think you've converted me to that denim ribbon - I really didn't like it but now think I might just have to add a spool to my next order! Thanks for sharing such a lovely card! xx
