Blast From the Past!!

Welcome to the Blast From the Past customer Blog Hop featuring our favorite Taylored Expressions stamps released prior to February 2011!
This month there was a bit of a twist to the hop and it was suggested to make a CAS card (lots of white space and little if any layering). That is so not me!! So this definitely was a challenge! For a bit of inspiration we were also given a fantastic sketch designed by Sankari Wegman. My first card was inspired by the sketch and I took a few liberties. It's simple but not CAS! (ha!)

Stamp Set: CreativiTea
