If Friends Were Flowers I'd Pick You...

Early hours here folks.... soft music playing....the house is so so peacful, I think this is why I colour in best lol no distractions :)
Just sharing another CAS card I have just finished. The light is not its best...I do need to invest in a light box or something for taking better photo's.. but these will have to do for now
Another Saturated Canary image this evening, I thought this lovely image was so pretty and perfect for this sentiment which I have used previously on floral cards.


 Sweet and simple, ....I think....I have found my new favourite card style....for now lol. When I first saw CAS cards ...I thought mmmm ok, but not for me, I like to add lots on with lots of glitters and ribbons etc....and then I made one, using a beautiful image and beautiful sentiment and I TOTALLY changed my mind! I think for me it just depends on the image/ sentiment you are using. So for the first few CAS cards I've tried I have chosen thoughtful sentiments and images that I LOVE that to me just dont need anything more adding to them...well... thats just my look at things ;)
I am as always extremely grateful for anyone who takes the time to stop by and take a peek at my cards, and would love for you to leave a comment ..
happy crafting!

    Beautiful Nicole. I am like you, I love to add glitter and other little extras - but often find that less is more. I have gotten into sharp, clean cards. My New Year's resolution is to perfect my colouring - the effects you can get with a little bit of clever shading are just so awesome. Anyway, I love your Saturated Canary image!!

    A great card, your colouring is fabulous. Love the font on the sentiment. I am the opposite I find CAS cards much easier to do than adding lots of bits and pieces

    Less is more, but it hasn't taken anything away from this stunning piece of work.
    Gorgeous image and your colouring is amazing. The sentiment you have used is one of my favourites.
