CAS Spring Flowers

Daisies - Stampendous, sentiment - PTI

I'm on Spring Break and there's no need to go any farther than my craft room for a vacation!

Today's card combines a number of challenges.  Three of them have been in my head tumbling around until this morning when my card came together.  Two are Splitcoast Stampers challenges.  Monday's CAS Challenge is a limited supply challenge and calls for using only outline stamps.  Daffodil Delight, More Mustard and Tempting Turquoise are the three colors in Tuesday's Color Challenge.  Use It Tuesday and Addicted to CAS both have spring themes for their challenges.  This card makes me think of spring.

Another challenge that influenced my card is from the Muse Card Blog.  A card is chosen to become a "muse" for creating a new card.  Ardyth Percy-Robb is this week's muse.

Ardyth's card

As I have mentioned before even though it's not my style, I am drawn to CAS cards.  Ardyth's card appealed to me right away - I loved the circles and the sentiment in the center.  The idea is reflected in my card.  The daisies on my card needed white space or the card quickly became to busy.  I went right to my collection of big sentiments and found this one from PTI.  The daisy stamps are about six years old.  They don't get much ink, but they do come in handy.  I also pulled them out for this card back in February!

I use white copy paper to plan my card, and it took several tries before I came to this layout.  Not being trained in art, I needed to remember the design principle of triangles in deciding where to place my daisies.  One layer cards panic me a bit!!  One mistake means starting over.  I sent up a silent prayer as I added the sentiment (which was my last stamp).  I would love to hear your comments and suggestions about my latest CAS attempt.
