Today's TLC is a real challenge! Holly really knows how to put a crimp in my style, lol. In one fell swoop, she took out half of my stamping arsenal! I really love my dies and embossing folders. But it's good to get back to the basics now and again.
This also is very CAS (clean & simple) which is also out of character for me. I'm also combining it with yesterday's Featured Stamper challenge and once again, I cased Karen's Rainbow Branches. I really love that card! I kept the rainbow, similar layout and CAS design, but I changed images, added a ribbon and some scoring. The images are Our Daily Bread designs.
So for my CAS card, I used a couple of rainbow ink pads I've had since time began. For the sentiment, I added an eyelet and ran some ribbon through it. (Holly said we could use eyelets and 1 ribbon!). The bottom part was scored w/ a bone folder so old it's actually kind of formed to the shape of my hand, lol. Nothing new (except the stamps) or fancy here..just back to the basics!
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

I agree, all the fabulous new stuff we can get our hands on these days is wonderful, but the basics are as well! I like the CAS look and actually do a lot myself. Sometimes I make myself use my original stamps and keep it simple. Love this rainbow paws one!
