This is a mega Clean and Simple card. It took no time at all and can be used for all different occasions by adding a sentiment inside.
I took a white piece of card and trimmed it to be just a bit narrower than my card blank then partially stencilled Shaded Lilac and Twisted Citron Distess Inks through a Crafters Workshop diamond stencil. The stencil itself is a distressed design and I didn't put it on straight or ink the whole piece of card. The sentiment is cut from a snippet of black card using one of the awesome Stamploration Cutploration dies. They are such fab quality and I love the font. I added some Wink of Stella to the 'hugs' then glued the panel to the card base.
Here is an alternate version using Shaded Lilac and Twisted Citron inks and the word 'smile'. The Twisted Citron doesn't come out too well in the photo but looks cool in real life!
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Less is More - Diamonds
Stamplorations - Feature a Die Cut
Pixie's Snippet Playground - Use Snippets

Definitely very clean looking and maybe simple to you but I am sure it took skill to stamp so beautifully
Love Chrissie xx

Love both colourways!
These are both great. I like the color combo of the second card better but that's just my personal tastes. Both are fabulous!
Oh very nice indeed! I love the way you did the stencilling and the gorgeous colours you used. The words look amazing, especially the hugs - like you, I like the font very much too. Two super cards! Hugs, Anne xx
Two really great cards, love the colours you've used on both.

Great inking and colours, Chris! Your card proves that CAS doesn't need to be difficult to deliver great results. Thank you for sharing with us at Less is More this week :)
CAC cards are the hardest for me to make, LOVE yours!
Two really super cards Chris. I love both colours and the design certainly could be used for many occasions. Barbxx
You can really rock a CASlicious card, Chris!! I do love the way you've put your stencil akilter and didn't sponge the entire thing. I'll bet they are both even prettier in person!! Hugs, Darnell

Fresh, crisp and gorgeously graphic, Chris ... wonderfully CAS ... love the colour combo's! Hugs, Anita :)
