What is a C.A.S? Clean and Simple
What is OWH?? What u are gonna ask me that? to learn more about OWH go HERE!
When I was asked by the OWH team, to add a CAS card for the skip, I knew I wanted to do a pretty background. I along with many stampers tend to add layers, and embellishments, and forget to just let it alone, to be simple and we'll to know when to stop. For this card, I used a new STAMPIN UP! set. I loved this set the minute I saw it. I really stamped in some yummy summer colors, added pearls to the centers and that was it, mounted it on a co-ordinating color and done.
Remember stampers, it's okay to have one layer, it's okay NOT to add a sentiment, sticker, flower etc..etc.. Just go back to the roots of stamping. Paper & Ink!
Thank you to Barbara at OWH for thinking of me for this skip.
Please if you have not check out OWH and there effort do so NOW you will not regret it!

this is a very pretty card
Lovely card! I love the little pearls you have in the design. That's a pretty stamp!
Very pretty card. Your layout of stamped images is perfect. Thanks for the inspiration!
What a beautiful card! I'm guessing those are the new doily stamps from SU? What a great way to use them to make them really stand out.
LOVE the colors. I have to get my hands on those stamps! : )
Great card for CAS. and I agree, every card does nit need a sentiment. Let the person sending it decide what to say in it.
Hi Dawn! So glad to see you again and hope you'll be able to blog more when school starts :)
Your card is beautiful - I love everything about it. I like your description of "clean and simple" as well because it is so true that sometimes less IS more.
Thanks for taking the time to join us on the skip and sharing some inspiration with us!
I love this Dawn! Stamping a background is a great idea!! Lovely :) And your bloggy design matches, how cool is that - did you plan it? LOL!
Lovely colors!
Very nice example of A CAS card Dawn. I need to work on doing more cards without sentiments. It's a sticking point for me and yet every time I see someone else do it i think it looks great. I love the little pearl bling too. Such a nice finishing touch!
Love those medallion stamps to create a background!
beautiful and feminine!!
those pearls are a great addition to the elegant doily patterns.
Very pretty, and the pearls add such a nice touch.
This is a beautiful card! I love the pearl embellishments and the touch of color around the edge. Thanks for sharing!
Nice choice of colors and placement of the stamps. Thanks for sharing.
What a simply elegant card!! That is a great set!
Very pretty--I like the colors and the pearls.
Lovely card. Nice colors & design.
Great use of those mandalas. Such simple elegance!
What a beautiful card! I love it all, the colors, the stamps and the little pearl details! Totally makes me want to dig through my stamps and give it a try! Thank you for sharing!
I love the stamps too..they look like real lace. Thanks for sharing.
Adorable card!
I really like the colors you used, and the pearls polish off the look wonderfully.
But hey... how about a link to the next blog on the skip? ;)
Those stamps are awesome and you rocked them with those yummy colors. You deserve a gold star for braving this challenge!
Great reminders! Stunning card!
Very nice and not over done with stamping!
I love all of the circle shapes on this card. The little pearl centers are just perfect to set off the doily shapes. I am inspired to use a stamp set I have of circular shapes. Also, want to add, that I love the stamping off the page technique. :)
Great card. Backgrounds can be perfect for simple cards.
Love the doilies! They remind me of the tatted doilies I used to make.
Very pretty!
A skip is the perfect size hop! Love the doilies.
Love those touches of bling, Dawn!
So nice! You did something I have never done, never even thought about doing. Guess I need to try stamping and leave it alone
Love love love it! I think I am going to have to get the stamp set!
The pearls add such an elegant touch!
Love the lacy stamps!
There doesn't seem to be a link to the next blog in the skip...
I had to enlarge the photo to see see if you had used a real tatted doily on the card. Beautiful!
Very pretty card. I like the design and colors of the card.
Beautiful card!! Love those stamps and how you stamped "off the page". Gorgeous colors, too. Wonderful.
Love the old worldie (is that a word?) feel of the stamps - it even looks like there is some distressing on the bottom layer. Very classy!
Love the pearl accents!
Great card. I love all the different doilies.
