My CAS card is truly simple...I've chosen a pretty sheet of designer paper (Bo Bunny Gabrielle) and simply stamped my graduation sentiment (Our Daily Bread Design's As You Graduate) directly to it with Versafine Black Onyx ink.
Although difficult to see in the photo, there is a scalloped border peeking out from the bottom of the designer paper panel. Each scallop is embellished with a Kaisercraft's jet black Rhinestone adding a bit of gleam.
All supplies are available at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

With designer paper like yours, nothing else is needed but the sentiment. I thought (too) you had stamped a white butterfly on the patterned paper.
ReplyDeleteYou may think your card is simple - but, it's positively beautiful! The paper you've chosen is gorgeous! And, the black makes it "pop" even more. Thanks for the great inspiration!
