Simple Starts

 Hello you lovely people. I hope this new week finds you well and happy. 

It's my pleasure to be hosting the first challenge of 2022 over at


and we are breaking you in gently with a SIMPLE START, which basically means we are looking for a Clean and Simple card featuring a cute image of your choice.

Here is my inspiration for you using a really cute digi image from our sponsor.


I coloured this little cutie with my Promarkers and the Thank You was simply typed. It looked a bit flat so I added some creamy pearls and then mounted the coloured image on a snippet of some similarly coloured card that I had used to die cut a circle, previously. Much better!!


If, like me, you are hoping to be a little more crafty in 2022, I hope you will pop over to the challenge blog and join in. 

Lovely to have your company, as always. See you soon xx

My power just went out and along with it my internet so I'm not sure my comment posted since I was right in the middle of publishing it.
Just in case it didn't, I wanted to tell you that your card is adorable. You always make the most beautiful CAS cards. It's not the first time I take a look at your blog for inspiration but then I can't leave well enough alone and my CAS card becomes a multi layered card with little to no white around the image :-) Love this little bunny and the way you coloured it in. The little pearls are the perfect finishing touch.
Have an awesome day.
Hugs,
Lena

Such a sweet card, Sarah! Love that little bunny and the extra sparkle on his jumper! x

SarahR said...

Hello Sarah, awwww I love this little cutie! I'm getting quite a collection of these stamps and they are fab -as is your card. I'm starting to think CaS is my go to style (it came along and never left!) and your card is a classic example of Cas - it's fabulous!!

Hope do you get more crafting time this year - I've been thoroughly enjoying getting back into colouring and making cards this last year.

Congrats on using up a snippet too.

Hope you found the comfy chair up in the Snippets Playground Treehouse and the other playmates made you welcome with a bit of cake and a glass of Sherry?

Hugs, Sarn xxx
