Creative Journey: CASEd Card for FBW

The challenge this week is a favorite - OPEN...anything goes as long as you include a butterfly, angel or fairy on your creation. I am trying to find inspiration - so been flipping through my magazines, checking out blogs and such looking for anything to spark a little creativity in me. I found a card that Dawn McVey did in a Papercrafts Magazine that caught my eye so I used it for my FBW creation.

First off, I'm not too good leaving white space but it's something that I like. I wasn't too thrilled with the plain white so I dry embossed it to give it a little texture. It's a fairly simple card yet it seemed to take me a while to determine the color combo. I used an old ColourQ Challenge for it.

I hope you've enjoyed my card today. Be sure to stop by the FBW blog and link your card so we can all take a look. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Stamps: Basic Blooms Level A Hostess Set from The Angel Company
