PINspiration

What did we EVER do before Pinterest?!?!  I can waste hours of my day scrolling through all of the pins...HOURS!  But what a great invention, especially for those of us who love to CREATE!  If I ever get in a slump and can't figure out what to stamp, I turn to Pinterest for some inspiration. 

I've been looking at this butterfly card, by Lime Doodle Design, for a few weeks and loved the CAS look.  The velum butterfly gives her card such a pretty look and I just had to CASE her design.

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Velum

Ink ~ Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum, Wisteria Wonder, Jet Black StazOn

Stamp Sets ~ Papillion Potpourri, Simply Sketched

Other Supplies ~ Butterfly Punch

 

Sometimes it is very difficult for me to create a CAS card, but when I force myself to put the embellishments away, I'm always happy with the end result.  Sometimes the simplest card can make the biggest statement!

Happy Stamping!
