Pursuit of Happiness PP 172 (CAS)

November 19, 2013

It is such a beautiful Fall day!  I am so thankful for the weather in Georgia.  The Paper Players Challenge was perfect for a day like today.  It called for a Clean and Simple (CAS) card with leaves.  I know we all think of the traditional Fall colors for leaves, but I decided to step out of the box and do a card with a twist on Fall.  I chose Chocolate Chip, Pool Party and Lucky Limeade for my card.


                                                           



Stampin' Up! Products:

Paper:  Chocolate Chip, Pool Party

Ink:  Lucky Limeade, Early Expresso

Stamp Sets:  Magnificent Maple, Gorgeous Grunge, Hello Lovely

Tools:  Stampin' Trimmer, Snail Adhesive, Paper Snips

Embellishment:  Linen Thread

Clean and Simple cards are difficult for me because I LOVE embossing and embellishments.
The great part is they are quicker to make and the tool list is short.  :)

Happy Stampin!
Claire
