Watercooler Wednesday Challenges #64

Spring is definitely in the air here in Iowa.  The trees are budding, the robins are everywhere and I so looking forward to all the beautiful flowers of spring.  Heidi's CAS (Clean And Simple) Spring challenge, this week, had me reaching for my In the Meadow stamp set.

Given it's a CAS challenge and the idea is to have as much white space as possible, I kept my stamping at a minimum.  As you can see, the card base is Whisper White.  :-)  In the lower right corner, I stamped an image from the In the Meadow stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink.  The tiny, cute butterflies from the same stamp set are stamping using Marina Mist ink.  Then, I added a tag made from Whisper White using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.  At the top of the tag I added the small button from the Gold Basic Metal Buttons and tied a bow using Linen Thread.  The tag was attached using Stampin' Dimensionals.  And there you have it, a very clean and simple design.
