I've been wanting to try out the new CAS (clean and simple) challenges and finally got some time. I think this meets three of 'em: CAS05 (blue & green), CAS04 (dot piercing), and CAS02 (use one button). Does this mean it's not so CAS anymore since I tried to put all of those in one card?
I cut the hill out of green cardstock and stamped the Happy Spring with versamark. Tied floss through the button.
The tree I stamped with olive chalk ink and close to cocoa (I must admit I don't fully understand this stamp-are those leaves? flowers? why is that one circle at the top way far away from any branch?-but I do like it even without my complete understanding of it [much like electricity]). I punched dots in the center of each leaf/flower circle because why the heck not? I stitched three sides of the blue with white thread, then attached the hillside.
I *did* restrain from sponging on some clouds to make it more CASlike.
