I did my first post (including this) but, thankfully, checked the rules before entering - hence this second post ........ onwards and upwards - my second make!

| And a closer view of my sunset colour scheme |
Materials used:
- 15cm square white, 250gsm, card blank and matching sized envelope
- 13½cm square of 300gsm water colour card
- 14cm square of 160gsm Kraft card, for matting

- Distress Inks, used as water colours:- frayed burlap, vintage photo, squeezed lemonade, ripe persimmon and festive berries

It's a little different from my normal image choice and I thank Lauren for that (she gave me the VLV images) and I'll be entering this for the following challenges:-
- Simply Less Is More - challenge No.227 it's a colour challenge and they've gone with SUNSET, using the colours of sunsets in a muted palette of yellow/orange/red
- Friday Mashup - challenge No. 212 - Ombre colour scheme and/or embellishment cluster (I just used the ombre)

Adore this CAS card and the sentiment is PERFECT xxx
What a great LIM entry creation. I get what you say about that image, but it's perfect for your splendid card.
You've got my mojo all fired up to enter challenges again, so I'm guessing I might hit my table of craftiness running when I arrive home - well as soon as I've filled the washing machine I guess Ha Ha !
Have a great Saturday.

Such a soft, pretty card! Love the hint of color. Thanks so much for joining us at the Friday Mashup!
Hi Kathy
I saw your card at LIM and had to come and have a closer look - WOW!! Why is it that my CAS cards never look as good as that!
As your sentiment says 'simplicity is beauty' - well said!
