{ clean and simple #100 }

Happy 100th CAS Challenges, Natasha!!

I am honored to present two cards using her sketch. I only hope my cards do it justice!  And, to see my name in the list of the other designers makes my heart skip a beat.


Here are two cards that I created using Natasha's sketch.

For my first card, I embraced the white, er yellow space. I found a piece of die-cut paper that I forgot I had, and with the scalloped edge, I thought it perfect for this sketch. I also grabbed an oldie but favorite stamp set and since the saying is about summertime, I thought bright and cheery was in order:

 For my next card, I used some patterned paper as the focal point.

I love how versatile, clean and simple Natasha's sketches always are.  

Thank you so much for stopping by!
