I'm not a traditional CAS girl. But sometimes it works, I'm hoping you think this is one of those times!
I really love Kraft as a color, it gives you such a warm palette, and pairs so well with many colors. AND what I most love about Kraft is how white looks on it. Stamped especially!
Here I 2-Step stamped the flowers on the white, added an additional flower popped up and also stamped the bloom on the Kraft layer in VersaMark and in White Craft.
The focal layer has a simple row of patterned paper and pretty ribbon. Because the other side of the Kiwi satin ribbon is cream, I twisted it a bit in the knot so only the Kiwi side would show and not clash vanilla against the crisp white. A simple sentiment flag and a corduroy brad sets it off just nicely!Thanks for popping over!

Great card! Kraft has always been a favorite and the way you paired it up it looks very fresh! Can't wait to hear more about your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love Kraft paper!!! I just about hug and kiss it every night before bed. Stunning card, Christine. I love how you paired Raspberry Tart paper with Kraft! I wouldn't have thought of doing that!
ReplyDeleteThis is really very gorgeous....I like how the top note die is cut on the side and the DSP on half and of course the white on kraft stamping is wonderful! Nice work!

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Christine! Love the simple layout but it's certainly not a simple card. Love your colours, love the sentiment with that brad. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love how you put the top note off to the side. I have a hard time thinking outside the box and always end up centering it. Love the popped up flag and raspberry tart!
ReplyDeleteLove how you worked all the colors. They look so soft and pretty together!
ReplyDeleteAhhh...this is so refreshing! I love the colors, the layout, everything! I am surprised that it is going. It was the first "convention" set that I recieved as a demo. It will have a soft spot in my heart forever! LOL! Great card! I always love your stuff!
ReplyDeleteThat's my fav flower from the set and your card is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is one of those times, Christine! What a gorgeous card! I have loved this set well in the past and hope to continue using it now and then. I always feel a little tug at my heartstrings when a favorite stamp retires...sob. Soon to be gone, but not forgotten.
ReplyDeleteChristine this is absolutely stunning, I love how you used the top note and the stamping in the bg and these great colors...WOW!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Christine! I love how you've given an old stamp set a whole new look! ... very refreshing!
