Here's the best that I can do for a CAS (clean and simple) card....nearly impossible for me to do. I don't have the "stop already!" gene in me. So here's a quick birthday card for a friend. I found these cute little tiny gingham check papers by A Muse while on vacation at the beach last week. I tried to add a little check detail to the balloon from the AWAY WE GO stamp set from THE CAT'S PAJAMAS with my Copic Blender pen. The sentiment is included in the UP, UP AND AWAY set. I used the new CLOUD BORDER CUTUPS die on some white felt as well. And I even finished the inside with some gingham clouds too!
CAS perfection Leigh!! Love all those ginghams!

Okay this is clearly one of those THUNK - I could have a V-8 moments. Dang Leigh just when you think it can't get any better you create something like this. You are rockin' the Copics again. Did you use a blender pen only for the balloon affect or something else?? How did you cut in between the balloon strings like that? A finger tip blade? If so I'm running out and gettin' one!!!!
Hugs,
Tracy
