Hello Everyone! Aga here to share a quick and easy card using Beautiful Day set. My favourite card style is clean and simple with lots of white space but sometimes, I love to challenge myself in doing something different. For my card today, I wanted to try a different approach to my usual CAS style and I used brown kraft card base instead of white cardstock.
I used black ink to stamp flowers and leaves and used a masking technique to create the floral arrangement for my background. For my sentiment I used a bold “thinking of you” from Thinking of You set. Then I stamped a flower with black and two leaves with Forest Glades and Evergreen inks on white cardstock. I cut it out them using coordinating dies and adhered. I used foam tape for the flower to add some extra dimension to the whole design.
Thank you for stopping by today and have a great rest of the weekend!

Just gorgeous Aga! I love the kraft background!
Aga I had the extreme pleasure of using this set last week … sadly it went home with the friend who owned it!!! What a glorious, gorgeous, perfectly neutral [my fave] card! LOve it!

So pretty! I am going to give this a try!
STUNNING! I love CAS too…
I wish I knew a hundred ways of saying “Beautiful” – this design is exquisite and I feel I must try it. I am also wondering if it would work for other colored base cards. Thank you so much Aga for sharing and inspiring :-)
GORGEOUS!
Wonderful card design. I just recently purchased this set of images so I was so happy to see you using it. Thanks for the inspiration! It is always difficult for me to get a white image to look realistic and this certainly does make it pop more with a darker background design.
Your card is exquisite, Aga. I think the black ink on Kraft paper is beautiful. This is an excellent stamp set.
Very beautiful look! Thank you for sharing!
A stunning card with a new idea for me to try. Thank you for sharing. Happy stamping. x
beautiful – this is getting pinned right now! love it!
Can anybody explain to me what CAS means, I often read it in different blogs but I don’t not know really what it means. I live in Germany and my english is not perfect.
This is absolutely beautiful, Aga. Thank you for your stunning design.
Classically beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents and gifts.
Awesome. A new way for simple cards. Thanks
Oh Aga, I need a new word for gorgeous. It is always a delight to see what you come up with. And every single make of yours could be found in a cute little boutique in the city.
I can only think of one word WOW! All of the flower stamps and dies are simply stunning.
Wonderful card! I love this CAS approach.
Absolutely beautiful.

A beautiful twist on the usual CAS look.

Oh this is just so stunning. I love all the Altenew floral sets. Want them all, too!
Great to try kraft…I made mine amazingly similar to this one, on white with greys. Yours is just beautiful!
