Nature’s Berries – Anything is Possible

There a few challenges out there that are looking for a CAS style of card.  CAS (Clean and Simple) is very hard for me to do.  I always want to add a little bit more, especially texture.  This time I kept the card very clean.

Inspired by the following challenges.  Subject / Style: The Paper Players (#546), Color: Color Throw Down (#647) and working with the diagonal row from Tic Tac Toe (#118) Single Layer, Free Square (CAS) and Sentiment.

Here is what I created:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Very Vanilla cardstock.
• Background Single Layer: (4” x 5¼”) Very Vanilla cardstock.
• The Berry Branch from the Sketched in Nature stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink and again in Crumb Cake ink.  The image was heat-set with Clear Embossing Powder using the Clear Color Embossed technique.
• The image was colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blends.  Berries – Polished Pink and Poppy Parade, Leaves – Mossy Meadow and Old Olive and Branches – Crumb Cake.
• Glossy Glue was added to the Berries using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen.  The wet glue dots blended the Polished Pink and Poppy Parade colors somewhat.
• The sentiment, Anything is Possible, from the Hand Penned Petals stamp set was added using Mossy Meadow ink.

And that was that.  A single layer of cardstock, stamped and colored, added to a matching card base.  Clean and simple. 

Anything is possible…see how the cut stem did not stop the plant from thriving!
