Pastel Thank You

My boys need rather a lot of Thank You cards at the moment so when I saw the current challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays I thought I'd give it a go.  I love the clean and simple style but don't often make cards like this as my first love is decoupage and you can't get much further away from CAS than that.


I have recycled an old thank you card for my topper and just layered it onto some co-ordinating card stock.  I cut the flower and leaf using the same card stock and some white, another white layer on top of the same co-ordinating card stock, some punched corners and there you go - one thank you card, the most difficult thing is probably going to be getting one of the boys to write in it!

I have copied the same design on the inside of my card, leaving the central panel white for them to write on, I included a flower to add a little interest.


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge 84 - Create a Clean and Simple Thank You Card
ABC Challenges #11 - Clean & Simple Cards
The Crazy Challenge 146 - Without design paper
Southern Girls Challenge 60 - Thank You Kindly
Hotshot Craft Challenge 14 - Clean and Simple
Allsorts Challenge Week 188 - CAS

I hope you like my attempt at CAS, having looked through the other entries in the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge I obviously have a little way to go, but I am determined to make more cards in this style.

Thank you for visiting me today, any constructive comments will be gratefully received.
