Just Us Girls Challenge #664 - CAS CARD Week - Birthday...Birthday Balloons and Cake (Pinkfresh and Honey Bee)

Hello,

A warm welcome on this very snowy, cold Alberta Saturday, to Just Us Girls Challenge #664 where we're introducing one of the new challenges on our weekly roster: Clean and Simple. Here, we're looking for CAS cards with plenty of open space (you do not need to have a white background), one major focal point, minimal layers/embellishments. For this particular challenge, as your hostess, I want your cards to be Birthday themed. Bring on the celebrations!



Today, marks our final week with Jules Pedd, our awesome, talented January guest designer. I'm sure you've delighted in her fabulous cards throughout the month - and the one she shared for this challenge is definitely CAS perfection. Many thanks for your inspiration, Jules! Hope you'll join us in the gallery often.

My card really plays on the 'simple' aspect of 'clean and simple', as I used lovely washi images from Pinkfresh Studio's Celebration collection. Adhere the washi to cardstock, die-cut and voila...done!  That cake is so beautiful! I want a huge slice; how about you? 


Looking forward to seeing your birthday-themed CAS cards filling the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

Great idea for washi! This turned out fabulous

Carol said...

Love the washi images...and your die cuts are just as pretty! Great example for us all of CAS design. This would be a gorgeous boxed set of cards!

That washi must be a relative of the stamps and dies I used for my card, Carol. So pretty with the balloons. I love that sentiment font and it looks like it comes with a die which is great.
