Less is More

Well this is quite a challenge for me, again my brain had to go into overdrive...lol
I Love CAS cards but never sure if I succeed very well when making them. I want good honest comments please as I would love to be able to join in this blog challenge every week. So need to gather all the advice I can from you clever people xx
I didn't have a Stamp that was very fitting for spring and as I was desperate to take part I had to think of other ways to sneak in...lol Hope a stamp is optional :) I guess I need to look for a whole lot of different stamps to the hundreds I have... Isn't it amazing how you never have what you need!
I used my Cuddly Bug...love it
and printed sentiment out on PC Stamped a flower in Spring as It looked like a "BIG I" : )
Think I should have put some thread through my buttons, :(
Well here it is and I would be grateful for comments...good or bad... I can take it...lol
I haven't made a card without a stamped image on it for almost three yrs. so this felt very strange. xx Bye for now, I am off to see what you have all been doing.
Hugs Mau xx

    Hi Mau,
    You don't always need an appropriate stamp to complete a challenge. Sometimes a little lateral thinking is necessary. You can use sentiments, die cuts, embellishments, colours and all sorts of other things to convey a mood or theme.
    This card is great, I think you've done really well. I like the flower as part of the sentiment... I see you picked up on Mandi's idea from last week.
    Thanks for your participation and we'll look forward to seeing you again next week!

    Hi Mau! Thanks for visiting me! LOVE your sentiment -SO clever! ...and your check ribbon...and you super cute buttons (which don't need thread btw!) All great elements for a CAS card- you don't neccesarily need to stamp- ...I didn't either! Look forward to "seeing" you in the next challenge!
