Clean and Simple Blossom

Hi all and happy Wednesday! Today I have another card made for the CAS (Clean and Simple) Autumn 09 Design Team Search. The sketch challenge is to make a card based off of this card. Here is my take... Very simple. I wanted to keep the focus on the flower. The flower was cut from my Blossom Nestabilities, I embossed the largest blossom with swiss dots. The remaining smaller blossoms I crinkled up, then layered the blossoms together and held them in place with a button and thread.
Yesterday Blog Hop fun got me all excited about fall, so now I'm off to go bake banana bread! Mmmmmmm! Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful day!

  5. Oh I so hope you make the CAS DT because your cards are stunning! I adore that bloom and after my blog hopping last night I was thinking I'd like that vine stamp from beautiful blooms but after this I NEED that stamp (is it wrong to buy a set for one stamp?LOL!)
    Enjoy your scrummy banana bread!
