Hello, my sweet blogging friends!
Hope you are doing well, and enjoying all your endeavors.
It's my very great pleasure to Guest Design for SheepSki Designs this month!
The Facebook Challenge lasts from April 20 until May 19.
Challenge 23 has an Optional Twist of "Use Only Two Colors"
(but can also have black, white and skin tones).
Come join in the fun!
Andrea's very lovely Wild Roses Image was pure joy to play with!
I opted for CAS - Yes, I know it's not really CAS because it has layers, and not very much white space, but for me, it's as close as I can get. But I'll keep on trying. It certainly helped working with an image so thoroughly lovely.
Colored with Copic Markers, and distressed with Mowed Lawn ink, this card sports a very old butterfly punch coated in Sunny Daze Glitter and a VIRGINAL Spellbinders die set called Venise Lace 5x7.
This image has been flipped both horizontally and vertically:
Also used on this card is...
My very first stamp set!
(available digitally as well)
Thanks for dropping by today. I hope you'll be able to join in the challenge!

Hi dear Donna,

That is one gorgeous rose image! Love your coloring, yellow roses are my most favorite! This creation is such a beauty! And the perfect little sentiment! Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Double D Challenge Blog, Friendship, Donna, DT Member.
A fabulous card Donna, such a pretty image and beautiful colouring. I have to admit that your design is not what I would call CAS but it is certainly quite CAS compared to your usual designs.
I hope you are well.

A very beautiful card with those pretty flowers in yellow. And, I love the dies used for it as well. You always make such fantastic card designs.
Beautiful card Donna. Love the frame you used here for that gorgeous floral image. Colouring is stunning. Nice touch with the blingy butterfly. Congratulations on your Guest Spot.
Pretty frame with such a gorgeously colored stamp. Beautiful inspiration for this time of year.
Oh, sweet Donna, this is gorgeous! Yes, it's as CAS for you as it comes, but that's where the Clean And Simple comes from. Cleanly elegant and simply gorgeous! Congrats on the guest designing for this month, and wow! I love the beautiful wild roses and how you've colored them, and how you've framed them is amazing and so gorgeous! I love the elegant sentiments...a special friend. Very sweet and lovely for a dear friend. Beautifully done, sweet Donna, and you have certainly made these images shine so beautifully! Hugs and love! xoxo
WOW, Donna, what incredible coloring, my friend! I love the die you chose for framing the image and that sparkly butterfly is magnificent. Beautiful work on the Swiss Dot background and you did such a great job on the out-of-the-box cutting for the rose. I love everything about this one, especially the "CAS". lol
Lovely card. Thank you for your comments on my blog

Donna, this is beautifully CAS... to those of us who can't quite go CAS all the way. I do try, but love to play with all styles. What a beautiful image and gorgeous die. Hanging my head to confess I still have so many virginal dies, as well, but working on it. Your coloring is exquisite! You're so good!
Stunning card. I love the open spaces, which allow the image to shine. And congrats on your sentiment stamp set. It's beautiful.
Very nice! Thanks for joining us at Crafting from the Heart Challenge Blog. Good luck!

Oh my, your sunny yellow flowers are so welcoming here in the Northern region of the country. What gorgeous color work. That beautiful lacy die is to die for too. Gorgeous pairing.
We are finally warming up, the birds a singing, bunnies are running around, and the squirrels practically knock at the door each morning for me to fill the bird/squirrel feeders..... Spring has finally sprung.
That is CAS for you, but you do it so well!!!!!!!!
Hugs

This is very CAS for your style, and it is just lovely & elegant. Love that S/B die and it's perfect to show off this gorgeous soft yellow floral stem. The spring green looks very fresh and shows the yellow so well. The 'jeweled' butterfly looks right at home perched on this marvelous design. TFS & Hugs
Hi Donna
Beautiful cheery card. Thanks for joining in at MAWTT.
Best wishes.

Absolutely beautiful Donna, you and me both with the CAS I just want to keep adding and adding. Gorgeous colouring as usual with a stunning layout.

Breathtaking!! I love a two colour palette, and the green and yellow together are so full of the promise of spring! Gorgeous die cut frame and that flower image is stunning!! Such a beautiful spring creation Donna, just love it!
Been keeping busy this past week doing all of the nasty spring cleaning. I love how the house looks and smells when I'm all done, but getting there is such a pain! lol. Hopefully by the time the every corner of the house looks shiny and new, the weather outside will be back to warm and sunny! In a month or so, the local nurseries will start opening and I will be choosing my first flowers for the patio. I'm super excited for that!! Hope you've had a good week my friend. Sending hugs :)
Beautiful card! I love the flower image and the die!
Great to see you back again Donna-Gorgeous card and die-cut frame-love the beautiful image and fabulous colouring

Dear Donna, I have much catching up to do here! First off, BIG congratulations on your GDT spot! You have done them PROUD! What a simple beautiful card! I love how you've colored that image and paired it with that elegant sentiment. The 5 x 7 die cut is a stunner! This is gorgeous in EVERY way! Sending hugs!
Your card is gorgeous Donna, beautiful design and die cuts, the roses look wonderful in yellow! The green/yellow combo is wonderful too...perfect for spring!

Just beautiful! I love this beautiful floral image. Congrats on your GDT!
I have not received the updates that you had posted, I noticed I hadn't gotten them for a couple other bloggers that bums me out. You did a beautiful job with this image, I love the yellows, such lovely coloring and like the touch of the green on the white framing, so pretty with your dotted background. The glittery butterfly is a pretty touch with it!
Oh so pretty, Donna! I love those gorgeous flowers - your coloured them beautifully! You always have amazing die-cuts too! Hope you're feeling okay these days, my friend. Thinking of you.
Hugs,
Kitty
