Is this too CAS ?

Here I am with a second project for today--soon got back into crafting instead of the ironing :)

At Addicted to Stamps and More this week it is their Clean and Simple week and I usually try to hide this week as I am never quite sure how much or how little counts as CAS style.


The card is White Hammered and I drew on some black lines in pen Added the Marianne die cut flowers and stamped the sentiment or is it a quote? Then it looked too bare so I stamped the butterfly. The top looks bare doesn't it? My inner artist said stop right there but the real me said add lace and trimmings lol

Hope you day is going well

Love Chrissie xx

    The card is lovely, and it can never be too bare for CAS! My friend loves CAS, and has a huge living room, painted white, and on one wall there is a smallish black and white picture, and that's it - it makes her happy! Valerie

    Hi Chrissie, not sure why you normally hide on this week as this is a great CAS card. I love how you drew on the lines, I have never done that but it is perfect for CAS, so thanks for the inspiration! And your inner Artist was right I think, you didn't need anything else!! Thanks for joining us at ATSM.

    I don't think it needs anything else Chrissie. You've got that "triangle" thing going that I've read you need on a card, and mauve is always so soft and sweet.

    Hi Chrissie. Such a pretty card with your flowers (especially the gingham ones - I adore gingham!) :) Love how you added the lines with your marker to create the focal area. Lovely sentiment and the butterfly is a nice touch. Great CAS card!! Thanks so much for joining us at ATS&M. Loll xx

    Simple and sweet, Chrissie. I do like the added butterfly - excellent decision. I agree about the flowers resembling musical notes, like a happy song of friendship. Very nice card.

    Blessings for more creativity,

    I know exactly what you mean about wanting to keep filling things up... but I think you've hit exactly the right moment to stop for a clean, pretty, definitely-CAS card!

    I can so identify with your comment about CAS cards. I really struggled with that very thought and wanted to hide to for a while. But I've found that the more I do it the better I get at it. I think this is a perfect CAS card and I love how you added the lines to pull the flowers together. Thanks so much for joining us this week at ATS&M.

Tag and Journal page design

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
