This week's Cue is:
Deciding when to leave well enough alone.
When I stamped this card I knew the recipient and the message that I wanted to convey. After I finished it I started to second guess if I should put 'congratulations' above the make a splash! My CAS loving heart knew that that was enough.
Pop over and have a look at what the rest of the Design Team has created to inspire you...
Guest Designer: Bhavana
I am also submitting this to Darnell's NBUS challenge.
I am also adding this to the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Use a Stamp Challenge.
I hope you play along with us again this week!
You left very well done alone! So sweet, Tracey!

Not naked at all Tracey - just a perfect little scene. The puddle grounds the umbrella so it's not floating and your coloring is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet and beautiful card :)
ReplyDeleteIt's perfectly CAS, Tracey ... and simply perfect as is! Wonderful! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeletesweet card..
ReplyDeleteGood choice! That it's a congrats card is understood already, I think, and another line of sentiment might have thrown this great CAS card off-balance. I really like it!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful Tracey!! Always love your cas design!:)
ReplyDelete*Sigh* I love this sweet CAS card, Tracey. The soft greens of the little umbrella, and the shadow it forms is perfect. And just the right sentiment; not too much, not too little. So sweet. Bev

ReplyDeleteHi Tracey ~ I love the sweet simplicity of this card. Your coloring is lovely and you "grounded" the umbrella by adding the puddle below. Perfection!
ReplyDeleteI think you stopped at just the right time, Tracey! Your CAS design is perfect and I love how you placed the puddle under the umbrella! Such a sweet card!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card, and it has just enough and not too much of everything. Love the way you did the shading, shadows and puddle. Will you come over some time and give me a lesson?
