Hello everyone! It's kind of a weird time here. Daughter's back in school - her 3 week back. Hubby has been working all along. I'm staying at home, like I was before. So it feels like everything is "back to normal". Except it's not. Still lots of restrictions. Still rules to follow. I can't help thinking that, the longer it's been since everyone went back out there, the easier it will be to forget the restrictions. Or should I say, the harder it will be to remember them. I'm worried we'll see the consequences....
This little guy is for the MFT color challenge #141 and he "stands out" by missing the frame simply because I made this one first, and didn't think about the frame until after adhering the elephant. Oh well...
Anyway, today I'm sharing a few more easy made CAS cards.
CAS - clean and simple - cards are by no means "my thing". I keep thinking something is missing. However, these images were colored with Danish Operation Write Home cards in mind. They are cards sent out to our troops abroad, for them to send to friends and family. And since they'll be doing lots of mileage in an envelope, simple and/or flat is preferred. Notice how I added a string and tiny bow on his leg as he holds the balloon. It's the little things.
I used My favorite things Circle extraordinaire stencil, Happy birthday circle frame and Adorable elephants stamps and coorcinating dies.
I used Wilted violet, Mermaid lagoon and Chipped sapphire Distress Oxide inks. And I left it at that. Well except for the tiny balloon strings that this one also has. Can you believe it? Me neither.
They are all colored with copics.

I love how this little guy is so taken by the butterfly that she completely forgets her kite.
Thanks for stopping by! Stay safe, and happy crafting.
