I just found a great challenge called AAA Cards and thought I'd play around this week with their sketch and see what I could come up with.
I used a die from Memory Box for the trellis and then cut some of that wonderful burlap with paper backing that Connie sent to me. It's so nice because you can die cut it and don't have a bit of raveling. If anyone knows where you can get that stuff, let me know because it's just great for adding to cards. I cut the frame with a SB die and then used yet another die from SU for the daisy/sunflower. The sentiment from Hero Arts was stamped in Versafine Brown and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
I only used the sketch and not the colors on this one. I'm so bad at color challenges and it's like a have a mental block against them! Next time I will try though........hopefully.
Thanks for stopping by............

Another winner from you, Lynn. The simplicity of it is a total class act in my book. I think I may have to look into picking up that trellis die. I had not heard of that burlap/paper backing, but I'll keep my eyes and ears open for you. Enjoy your day.
Fabulous textures on this great card!! Love that bright yellow blossom on your die cut burlap! Well done, Lynn!
On Lynn, wonderful card! Love the trellis die cut!
How sweet of Connie to send you the wonderful burlap. The flower looks so pretty against it. Love your die cut border, too.
Wonderful card. Love the trellis and the burlap looks fabulous against the white background.

I'm having a hard time finding words to describe this card Lynn. It is strikingly beautiful in it's simplicity. It is a masterpiece in its own right. It should be in a display case somewhere.
Beautiful, classy and understated. Wow, you do CAS well, it's just great. Speaking of great, Connie is just the best too.
This is just stunning Lynn. I love all the white space and love that die.
Talk about elegant and CAS - this is fabulous Lynn.
Blessings

Oh, Lynn, I love what you did with this sketch! The trellis is wonderful and gives such great texture. The burlap is perfect. Who cares that you didn't also try the colors in the challenge when your card is this beautiful? :-D
Oh Lynn, I am loving this card!! That die is just beautiful along the side and of course I'm a daisy girl and love that daisy! So color challenge give you a mental block huh?! lol They help me sometimes and sometimes they block me too. lol I must check out this challenge, looks like it is fun and easy to play along with.

Fab CAS card- love the trellis die and the burlap shape is awesome! I die cut burlap without too much trouble and it only unravels if I pull on the threads.
This is very pretty! Love the CAS style - so hard for me but I just love the clean look! Gorgeous die cut!
Oh my goodness! This is BEAUTIFUL!!!
I love that yellow daisy and it looks perfect with the burlap! Love that trellis die too!
Wow... what a fabulous CAS card... you do those so well Lynn. Love that burlap and the sunflower.
I really love all the textures you mix and match so well on this beautiful card. Having burlap that wouldn't unravel would be heavenly. Hope to find some!! Thanks so much for playing at AAA Cards.
Beautiful CAS card! I love that trellis die, and the fabulous burlap!

Beautiful CAS card Lynn, love the burlap frame looks amazing with the pretty yellow flower, Cathy x
That burlap is simply awesome - no raveling! I don't use mine as often as I might because of all those little hairy bits. I love the trellis piece too. And I find colour challenges really challenging too :)
I have been trying to comment on my last visit but blogger would not let me enter your comment box.
I am a big fan of sunflowers and burlap together, so this card is a winner for me.
Love,

Love this beautiful CAS design with the burlap layer and the gorgeous trellis die cut, Lynn...I sooo need that die!!!
I have always wondered how I would use those intricate die cuts! This is fantastic! The lattice and burlap give a great texture and dimension to this!
