Join us! It is CLEAN and SIMPLE week at The Paper Players. Think lots of white space, minimal layers and embellishments. Stef is challenging us to create a CAS card that features THINGS THAT FLY (e.g., bird, plane, bee, butterfly, etc.).
Today's cards (6) were made for a woman who adores butterflies! She is the correspondence secretary for the First Presbyterian Women, an organization supporting and sharing with the congregation, friends, and guests; building faith, changing lives, and sharing christ.
I used one of my favorite products over the last 10 years... die cut washi from Pinkfresh. I love the colors and foil accents, and they are just so easy to design with. I die cut a dotted rectangle frame on the cardbase and laid out the elements. Before adhering the butterflies and leaves, I stamped the primary and secondary sentiments. Final step was a few silver glitter dots. Easy peasy.
Here's a quick recap of our challenge rules:

Oh, Elizabeth! Your card is a butterfly lovers delight. Your friend will LOVE the cards you created for her. The vibe is so fresh and airy. You can imagine the butterflies flitting among the leaves. Clean, simple, and beautiful! Have a wonderful week!
Those butterflies are just beautiful Elizabeth and I couldn't agree more - Pinkfresh washi is so pretty and makes for stunning cards! I still have a few pieces left that you sent me waiting for the right final project ...
How wonderful! I love those richly coloured butterflies while the subtle gold on the leaves adds further opulence. :-)
Elizabeth, your friend will love this gorgeous card! The washi tape is amazing and the colors are so pretty!
Those washi butterflies are amazing! So much detail! The white background of the card keeps the CAS feel to it as well!
Such a beautiful card with the lovely butterflies, Elizabeth! The design elements all work together so well while keeping it all CAS, which you are so good at! Love this!
