Hello Friend

Hello all and happy Monday! It is such a gorgeous day today, I thought it would be fitting to share this blooming card with you all...Using the Beautiful Blooms II #3 Collection Dies, I die cut flower negatives from my white cardstock block, rounded the corners and stamped the sentiment from Springtime Doodles. You all probably know this already, but here is a Clean and Simple tip: For a visually pleasing CAS design, group your images and embellishments together to create a main focal point and white space.
Debossed the front of the card base using the Polka Dot Basics II Impression Plate and carefully placed and attached the Pure Poppy, Summer Sunrise & Raspberry Fizz buttons. Completed the card by attaching the flower negative block, using dimensional adhesive.

Hope you all have a great start to your week! Thanks for stopping by!

Maile

    Fabulous card - love the clean & simplicity of it! I really need to try this 'negative' cutout look - I'm drawn to it each time I see it...
