Love bugs

I tried to make my brother's Valentine card as clean and simple as I could. It is so difficult! But I wanted to enter a CAS challenge.

I put Glossy Accents on the little wings to give the card a little something extra, and I of course added Wink of Stella! I also added three ladybugs on the inside of the card.

By the way, the two ladybugs with the heart between them is meant to represent my brother and his girlfriend. I mean, I love the guy, but I don't *love him* love him! :)

Here's to CAS (and a couple more challenges)!

Little hearts

I really like how this card turned out. It is a simple design, but it has a lot of bling, with gold embossing powder, sequins, and Wink of Stella. Love!

The gold embossing powder also looks cool when the light shines on it.
