Poppy

 I love making CAS cards, don't often blog them, perhaps I should.

 I used this Hero Arts stamp, and coloured it in reds and warm grey promarkers.  I embossedthe kraft cardstock with a leaf folder, did some scoring and added some red gingham (loves me gingham!), very simple really.

Challenges:
Simon Say Stamp - photo inspiration
Passion for Promarkers - kraft + 1 other colour
Craft your Passion - anything goes + brown
Cute Card Thursday - red for remembrance
Just inspirational   - Remembrance day

You should blog your CAS cards hun if they are all like this! Really striking colours - love how the kraft has softened the red (white card could have been too harsh)and the embossing and ribbon are perfect finishing details. Simple, but super. Hugs Sxx

Gorgeous card - love, love, love poppies and they are especially appropriate at this time of year. Ditto the love for gingham :) Yes, you should blog your CAS cards - if this is anything to go by they will be a treat to the eye. Elizabeth x
