Here's my simple card. It's not CAS, I know. But it's a lot simpler than my usual production, wouldn't you agree?
I made 5" square card, with a little strip of paper from Cosmo Cricket's Togetherness pad. For the lace edge I used Woodware punch. The umbrella and sentiment are from Clearly Besotted's April Showers set. |
Here's a close-up of the umbrella, stamped with Memento Bamboo Leaves, Cantaloupe and Danube Blue and cut with Clearly Besotted's coordinating April Shower die. For layering I used Spellbinders Circle and Scalloped Circle dies. |

For the inside, I flung the umbrella down. She won't be needing it on bright sunny days! |
