The Clean and Simple Challenge this week at Split Coast Stampers was a sketch challenge. I just couldn't decide how I was going to make it work. Then last night I was looking through all of my stamps, and found my "Reasons to Smile" set. I thought that the little flower patch would make a nice border. I don't line images up very well when I am repeat stamping, though. So I just took it off the wood block and added a little of the Aleene's Tack It Over & Over to the back, so I could use it with my acrylic block. I know some people don't like the TIO&O, but I've had good luck using it. I did the purple card first, and decided the border needed moved up a little for the next card. A quick, simple card, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. There are some fabulous cards in the gallery for this week's challenge. You can check that out here.

So pretty...these would make a great gift set in different colors!
Oops..I left out the word "many". These would make great gift sets using many different colors..
These are both super terrific! I like how simple you kept this with the stamped border and just one embellishment. And how fun that you made two. That's what I like about CAS, so fast and easy you can makes lots in no time at all.
Great cards!! tfs!!

Love these CAS! Goes to show you can do something simle and it still look really wonderful like yours!
Very nice. I am a sucker for the clean and simple cards. Good for you using the acrylic block. I am more of a 'stamp and hope' kinda girl myself!! I suppose I should get a stamp-a-ma-jig (is that what it's called) and learn to use it since I am a demo some might like to know how to use it. ;)
Beautiful, I love it!
