Today's CAS challenge -- make a card using neutral colors. Easy! Wrong!!! I got to working on my card this afternoon. After deciding on the image layout, I had to stamp it five times before getting it right. I kept getting the little edge marks from the stamps or ink from my fingers on the card stock. For a simple card it sure did take me a long time to complete. I am really glad I did.

I've been there and done that! Drives you crazy, doesn't it?
I love the wetlands image and it's a super card.

Absolutely lovely! I would say it was worth all the frustration because this card turned out great. I really like the rock stamp that you combined with the Wetlands stamps to make the gorgeous scene for the goose. Nicely designed card! TFS

Diane, I feel your pain!!!!!!!! It is so darn frustrating when that happens. But your card is beautiful. I love the score lines for accent. Really defines your card.

This set is so perfect for this challenge and I love what you did with it! I have yet to create a card with it. I can also relate to how many times you have to redo it!! I thought it was only me.

Great job...although I know only too well about easy cards gone wrong. You chose the perfect stamp and layout for this neutral challenge. I still have not come up with an idea.
