How fun! I bought two sheets of new images from Frances a couple of months ago but haven't inked any until today. I love Clean and Simple, but all the other DT creations are fantastic, as well. I posted my card on my blog.
ReplyDeleteHi - just found your website and this is my first ever challenge. I had great fun with this and have always meant to try the Warhol style so thanks for the nudge into doing it at last. I have posted my entry on my blog. Amanda xxx
ReplyDeleteWow, glad to have stumbled across your blog! You all are amazing! I will definitely be back to join in your challenges!! Love it here! Anne
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards from everyone...loving them all and love the idea of Clean and Simple...being one of those crafters who over does it everytime...may just give this one a go LOL xx
ReplyDeleteHi never entered here before but with a combination of Laura's inspiration and this inspiring challenge the creative juices started flowing. Have popped my make onto my blog.
ReplyDeleteI love Ali's Clean and Simple Creations!
ReplyDeleteI don't usually do CAS, so this was a challenge for me!
The DT examples are Fab!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic website! Thanks for all the great challenges. I entered the 'black and white' and have now made some notecards for Ali Manning's challenge. May even do something else!
ReplyDeleteI hope "clean and simple" doesn't mean it has to be "centered". No matter how hard I try, I just can't picture things centered.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little out of my comfort zone with this challenge.
ReplyDeleteA really really challenge for me....happy to see everyone else posted such beautiful cards.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun challenge. I just love CAS cards!
ReplyDeleteThe notecard set is just such a great idea. Thank you for the challenge and thank you so much for the inspiration. Petra.
