Simple CAS "Elegant Love"

Todays card I am sharing with you is one I made a while ago for a wedding card. I wanted to keep it clean and simple so I added very little color to the white and just added a lot of texture instead. I use a variety of dies and punches. The sentiment "Love" is from Our Daily Bread Designs Love stampset and is embossed in gold. The butterfly is made using a Sizzix Butterfly Die from SU. The edge of the card is punched with the EK Success- Fleur De Lis punch. The love sentiment is stamped on the Spellbinders Label 4 die cut out and framed with Spellbinders Flourishes and Accents. I added a variety of textures with the Cuttlebug folders.

Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs- Love

Paper: White CS

Accessories: Cuttlebug- Swiss Dots, Textile and Swirl Folders, Ek Success Punch- Fleur De Lis, Butterfly Sizzix die from SU, Label 4 Spellbinders, Flourishes and Accents Die from Spellbinders, Hero Arts Pearls

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a great weekend!!! For those who live in the USA, enjoy your holiday!!! Thanks for your sweet comments! Although I am away, I will catch up with you all when I get back. I have several posts scheduled, so please stop by again.

blessings,

Chris
