Stamping & paper piercing - tough to get any simpler! A sweet PTI stamp that reminds me of the weave on a basket which resulted in this CAS easter card. BTW, the last image is stamped with a lovely warm shade of peach and is very pretty in real life (as opposed to the blah coral color that refused to be tweaked in Photoshop).
My card is headed in three directions:
The first challenge is over at CASology where the cue word is Style. My interpretation may be a stretch, but there are others in the gallery that interpreted "Style" as referring to a card making style. So, I'm throwing my card into the ring with my usual Clean & Simple style.
The second challenge quite likely needs no introduction because Darnell is mega famous in blog land for her NBUS challenges. The NBUS that I've used is a Papertrey Ink stamp set that my dear friend and fellow BABE Bev (thanks pal) tucked in my craft box before we left our crafting getaway at the Lakehouse. NBUS #4 closes at midnight on March 31st, so get busy if you haven't already entered.
The third fun challenge is Simply Create Too - Anything Goes! You really need to pop on over to the challenge blog and take a look at the gallery...tons of inspiration from all the amazing projects that are posted!
Thanks for stopping by :)
Happy crafting!
So cool!!

ReplyDeleteYour clean and style style is always a delight, as you share it with such flair and panache! Love your row of basket-weave squares! On my monitor, your peach truly is 'peach'...so consider the 'pretty' very much accomplished!

WOW, what unbelievable perfect stamping of those lovely basket weave blocks, Geri!!! And the colours are so beautiful!!!!! I can just look at it and wish that I could do stamping so beautifully!!! And the paper piercing - now that is really lovely and such a clever idea and it rounds everything off so perfectly!!!! You are a CAS genius, Geri!!!
