Love Always

Good Tuesday morning! A dreary, rainy, overcast day here in New Jersey and if it weren't for the fact that I have to pick up my kids from school, I'd still be in my jammies. I decided that today was a good day to play along with Splitcoast's Clean and Simple challenge...extra challenging for me as I don't like 'nakedness' on my cards. I CASEd this card here from Gail...as she is the featured artist for this challenge. Here's my 'naked' card:

I bought a whole bunch of new dies from Memory Box before Christmas and though I spied this Cherry Blossom die in my stash since then, I hadn't had the inclination to use it until now. I enhanced the design by added a drop of liquid pearls to each black stamen and a white pearl in the center. The sentiment is from Verve's No Matter What set and I made the banner with a square punch. I outlined the perimeter with some black liquid pearls and a few hearts tie my design in to Gail's. I kept the 'Love Always' theme the same, but changed up the colors and die-cuts and I also designed my card in a CAS style.

Thanks for visiting!
