KEEPING IT SIMPLE
I can't believe I have been away so long from my blog!! I like to be able to put up work on a regular basis, but just haven't been able to get a thing done over the past few weeks. I decided to take a leaf out of my friend Kim's book and create a Clean and Simple card (CAS).
I went back to my first love - sponging! Using Kim's idea of masking a portion of the card, I went to work and created my background. It really suited the new Hostess stamp set "Simply Soft", so I got a chance to ink it up! This was originally a line art stamp, but I decided to create the silhouette again, by colouring in the stamped images in the same marker - in this case, Chocolate Chip. Not a single embellishment in sight! Be sure to check out Kim's site, Joyful Creations with Kim, too. She does the most amasing CAS cards! Tell her I sent you, won't you?

*jaw drops* That is breathtaking... absolutely stunning! I'd love to be able to sponge like that! xx
LOVE this card Paula! Your sponging is amazing as always, and I love how the silhouette is peeking out from the masked area. Fabulous!
It might be CAS but it's totally stunning.
I was wondering where you'd got to x this is just gorgeous I love it and wanna CASE it x Debi x
Paula, this is jaw-droppingly beautiful!! LOVE it. What a great idea, to use line images as silhouettes, by colouring them in; so clever.
Gorgeous card Paula - I love what you've done! It's my favourite hostess set but mine hasn't seen ink yet and is a shame that life gets in the way sometimes...{sigh}.
Wow was the word that came to me when your blog loaded. I love it.
Stunning, babe. As usual. Adore it, and totally relate to not getting anything done... But you've inspired me. Hugs xxooxxoo
Absolutely stunning Paula. Well worth the wait.
Paula, I love this card, it may be simple but its so stunning. You are a queen of sponging, may have to have a go at CASE'ing this one.
