Popping in with a card for a couple of challenges. One is new to me and the other is an old favorite. The new to me is
Fab Friday and the old favorite is
Less is More. The challenge at
Less is More is one layer with spots and strips in the mix so I used that as my jumping off point for the color challenge at
Fab Friday. (Use Calypso Coral, Rich Razzleberry and Dapper Denim) I was going to use a stamp set that I had recently purchased from Stampin Up!, but because my card was going to be all stamping I had trouble getting all the colors to work well together with the images in the set. After repeated tries I gave up and pulled out a fun (but now retired) stamp set from Stampin Up! called Age Awareness and was able to make the colors work. For a simple card this one took me quite awhile to make. I originally started out just stamping everything using my acrylic blocks, but soon realized that things would go a lot better if I used my mini MISTI. I made my card and added some Nuvo Jewel Drops in black, but then ruined the card when I decided that I could add some more black to one of the drops. So... back to the starting block, lol! This time I got the card made and used Nuvo Glitter Drops in Blizzard White. Once the drops were dry I did not mess with them!! As you can see I have several different strips and spots, as well!
Supplies: White cardstock; Stamps: Stampin Up!; Inks: Stampin Up! and Memento; Nuvo Jewel Drops

So glad you found our challenge! Your card is perfectly CAS! I love the details of the white jewels to make that sentiment pop! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
What a fun color palette, I need to check that new challenge you found! Your one layer is perfectly CAS and awesome! The sentiment makes me smile and your stamping looks great -this is one of my fave CAS layouts. Thanks for sharing with us at Less Is More!
So modern & fun & perfectly stamped, Rosemary!
What a cool CAS card! Love that sentiment and your design is perfect! Thanks for joining us at Fab Friday, hope to see you again soon!
You created a wonderful "less is more" card! Great color combo and love how the candles make up the strips!
Welcome to our challenge, Rosemary!
Your card is a beautiful CAS design, I love the crispness of the images with the bold colors. Nuvo drops are fun, but not when they get messed up! Yes, I do hate when that happens.
What a beautiful and CAS way to deal with our colors - love this! I might have to check out those drops - they look amazing! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
CUTE CAS birthday card!!

Very cute CAS card - love it and the sentiment.
