I am designing number of Clean and Simple cards for February's Birthday Extravaganza class. When I saw the design at CAS(E) this Sketch this week, I knew the perfect stamp set to go with it. "Charming Cascades" has three different images that cascade down the page. I used the dots and stars to create the background for this card, then added the sentiment from "Stamps of Approval." The design worked so well to create a masculine card that is quick but looks great! I'm also entering this card over at the Seize the Birthday Clean and Simple Challenge this week.
Here's a list of what I used. All are from Close to My Heart
Stamps:
Charming Cascades
(D1668) - dot and star background
Stamps of Approval
(C1637) - sentiment
Papers:
Colonial White, Black and Flaxen cardstock
Inks:
Black and Flaxen
Other:
Black enamel stars (retired)
Mounting Foam

Love this card, Gail! Great use of Charming Cascades for the background. At first glance the Flaxen looked like a gold color which goes so nicely with black. Thanks for inspiring me today!
