Welcome back! So nice to be back at home and having time in the Studio.
A quick clean and simple card, a favorite style, for CAS Colours & Sketches (#589) sketch.

Additional influences include: Color Dare (#712); Seize The Birthday (#330); CAS on Friday (#338); and Just Add Ink (#790).




Here is the result:

Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Night of Navy cardstock.
- Background Panel: (5¼” x 4”) Basic White cardstock.
- The sentiment, Have The Best Day, from the Cutest Crew stamp set, an On-Line Exclusive product, was stamped with Night of Navy ink.
- Die Cuts: Stylish Shapes Dies and Playful Alphabet Dies (retired).
- Banners: Old Olive cardstock and Old Olive Dots patterned paper from the retired 2023-2024 Regals Collections Designer Series Paper pack.
- Squares: Poppy Parade cardstock and Poppy Parade Splatter patterned paper from the retired 2025-2026 Brights Collection Designer Series Paper pack.
- Shapes – Circles: Night of Navy and Basic White cardstocks.
- Numbers: Night of Navy Striped patterned paper from the retired 2023-2024 Neutrals Collection Designer Series Paper pack.
All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.
