Another try at a CAS card--this time for PDCC & CASology. Most 3rd graders can color better than me, but today I actually used my COPICs (Y21 & BV00) to color this cute little Hero Arts butterfly--yah--simple is good! The sentiment is from the same older clear set called Happy Hello. I think this is the first time I've used these 2 stamps. Yellows are not really my color, but I have to say I love the PDCC color combo. At first I expected to use mostly the Lavender, but I'm actually really happy I decided to use my textured Buttercream colored cardstock for my "white space"--what do you think? I punched out the butterfly & matted it with a scrap cut with the smallest Spellbinders Lacey Circles die. Being CAS, I resisted the urge to add embellishments except for a spot of lavender Stickles on the antennas.
