Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango and Summer Sun. It also fits yesterday's CAS challenge to paper piece.
When I saw this color combo, all I could think of was the shirt my SIL and BIL brought Mark back from Hawaii! It is the loudest, most obnoxious shirt I have EVER seen! So, of course, Mark likes to wear it to family gatherings...not HIS family gatherings, MINE! So, all MY relatives think he's a Magnum, PI wantabee!LOL!
So, thoughts of that shirt lead to thoughts of clothes and that lead to thoughts of this cute set of clothes for Anya and Ian!
I colored the individual shorts, and individual shirts with Copic Markers and cut them out. I paper pieced them together. Since I wanted this to be a Clean And Simple card, there is LOTS of white space, only 4 layers, including the base and only ribbon as an embellishment!

Well, I'm not at all surprised that you can do a CAS card that it beautiful. I think it takes a great talent (which you obviously have..duh!), and it is just beyond me. I have to add all the stuff to make mine look like anything.
This is too cute with the bright clothing. I can just see Markie in his shirt!!

Faith, I didn't know you could do such a simple looking card. Please don't take this the wrong way. I had to look twice at the name. Perfect as always!!!
