SCS Color Challenge
Color Challenge: more mustard, rose red, kiwi kiss
Stamps: Verve - Petals & Stems, Flutterby By
Accessories: ribbon, paper piercer, dimensionals, sponge
Even though I love mustard, I wasn't sure I was going to like this combo. But it's growing on me. I hadn't even planned on what set to use. I had told myself that I had to get my PIF images stamped and mailed today before I could make a card. Well, I was using this set and it hit me. Verve was the way to go, today!

CAS02 - One Button Will Do!
CAS has become very popular and we're so excited! We even have a design team every season. Come check us out! This week we would like you to use one button on your card.
What is CAS?
The idea of CAS is to keep it Clean and Simple.
Definition: A clean and simple card has limited layers and sometimes just a card base. It leaves a lot of "open space". It uses little or no embellishments. Any techniques should be the old standard everyday kind like sponging, distressing and piercing. Limit the number of tools you use. Any colored images should be small and quick. Don't go overboard on tons of punches and embossing. CAS cards should be easy and quick.
Here's my 1st card for CAS02 - Checker Flower
Stamps: flower - DRS Designs
Colors: regal rose, pretty in pink, so saffron, bashful blue, certainly celery
Accessories: button MS butterfly punch, celery marker
Here's my second button card for the CAS challenge - You're Fabulous!
Stamps: It's Beautiful wheel, Absolutely Fabulous
Colors: riding hood red, black, white
Accessories: ribbon, button, stickles

SCS Featured Stamper Challenges
I was so excited to be able to use Teacher Anya that I received from Tammy on the PIF thread!
This week's Featured Stamper: juliemlacey
* different Anya image
* same layout
* similar colors
* less layers
* no hearts; added brad and sentiment
* Since this was a PIF, I couldn't use a Top Note.
Here's Juliemlacey's adorable card.
Stamps: Teacher Anya - The Greeting Farm, sentiment - SU's Wonderful Words
Colors: bashful blue, creamy caramel, white
Accessories: Copic markers, ribbon, brads, dimensionals, DSP
This is a card I made quite awhile ago.
Featured Stamper: stampinat6213
* same stamp sets
* different colors. Used stamps instead of DSP
* used butterflies instead of flowers
Here's Nancy's beautiful card.
Nancy cased it from kricki.
Kricki cased it from Cris1467.
And I think It's been cased several more time. LOL! It's a GREAT card!
Stamps: Priceless, Hugs & Wishes, So Swirly Wheel
Colors: pale plum, perfect plum, white
Accessories: taffeta ribbon, dimensionals (on the top butterflies)
