Hello! Thanks for popping along to my blog to visit.
Today I have a design team contribution for Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge and the theme for this month is …. HUGS!

So before I set off down the route of showing you what I made let’s quickly revisit the rules for the CAS challenge…
Clean and Simple design with one focal point, lots of white (or open) space and minimal layers and embellishments
Now I do this partly because I have recently been a more is more kind of cardmaker rather than CAS so I love this challenge and the fact it makes me reign it in a little even if it is only for one project a month!
I did take inspiration from Martin at Martin’s Mayhem mainly because I happened to have been binge watching his videos on YouTube recently, I love his style. So this was probably mainly inspired by this video. But I used the Butterfly papers that came with Butterfly Brilliance and then the Oh So Lovely stamps for the hugs.

So a few extra details like the sewing and the splatters to make it special but don’t think I went too over the top on this one.
Inside the card, more paper and another stamped Hugs!

So what do you think? CAS enough? I love these butterflies and it was nice to find I still had a little bit of the paper left in my stash!
Happy crafting!

The shadow stamping technique is a great idea to enrich the card. I love this butterfly!
