CAS-ual Fridays Bold and Beautiful Challenge

I have a CAS Get Well card to share today.  I made this card for this week's CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #45 "The Bold and the Beautiful".  The challenge is to create a Clean And Simple project using pastels and black.




The flower stamp is from Hero Arts, Little Polka Dot Blossom Cling.  I stamped the flower with versa mark on Certainly Celery paper twice and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I cut out and layered the two flowers to give it some extra dimension.  For the flower center I used a 1/2 inch circle cut out of Basic Black paper.  I embossed the black background paper with the Polka Dot embossing folder and finished the image with a strip of scalloped trim in Certainly Celery and an edge trim of So Saffron.  The Get Well Soon Sentiment is from Everyday Sayings by Hero Arts.

Lately I've been needing a lot of Get Well and Thinking of You cards.  I love when I come up with a quick and easy, clean and simple everyday card!
