You Make Me....Smile!

Hello friends!!   As another Saturday draws to a close I'm finally getting a chance to post my card for this week's Less is More challenge.  This week Chrissie and Mandi are asking us to tear our paper and/or cardstock... a technique that I haven't used in a very long time!!   Tearing cardstock or paper can make me crazy because it can be hard to tear some cardstock and make it look nice.  But I gave it a go for Chrissie and Mandi!!   I also combined the LIM challenge with this week's Dynamics Duo color combo of River Rock and Black.   




Today I got some happy mail in the form of two new stamp sets that I purchased from Ellen Hutson.  Ellen's business happens to be located about 30 miles from me so when I order things from her I get them right away... Yay!!!  I used one of the sets, Hero Arts/BasicGrey Special Lace, for my card.  I cut the white and black cardstock pieces and then tore the bottom of each piece.   After I stamped the sentiment I added the ribbon using a piece of River Rock ribbon (say that three times fast!!) a button and some twine.  Three small brads finished off the card. 

Thanks for stopping by.....

Supplies:  Cardstock:  PTI white; SU! River Rock & Bazzill Raven; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Ribbon:  SU! River Rock; Button:  DeNami Designs; Twine:  May Arts; Brads:  American Crafts

    Hello Rosie
    Your card is made in the true CAS style that you are so famous for. The design has a simplistic quality with clean lines and a solid colour palette, so your main focus and interest is in the over sized bold sentiment.... it works very well.

    I'm so sorry that I'm late in visiting this week, but I have been on a wonderful cruise to Norway where I didn't have very good Internet coverage!
    Thanks so much for your wonderful contribution!
