clean and simple. . . .

is becoming more popular in the card making world, it seems.  Here is my card for several challenges:


I used a stencil from Michael's with some coral ink, which doesn't look as soft as it does IRL.  The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch and the sentiment is from A Muse Art Stamps.


The first challenge is The Card Concept challenge under the category of clean and simple. 


The second challenge is CAS(E) this sketch, which is a challenge I don't think I've ever entered.



And, the last challenge is Simon's Wednesday challenge which is anything goes with buttons.



Thanks for visiting and Happy Monday to you!

I love this - it's almost a subliminal take on the inspiration - the red dots and the aqua butterfly and the whimsical feel of this come straight from the photo, but it's completely your own as well! Thanks so much for joining us at the Card Concept!
