Simple does it

I think the two cards I want to share in this post are on the "simple" side. I always find that to be a challenge. 
 This first card is for the CAS(E) this sketch challenge so one of the requirements is that the card is on the clean and simple side. 
 I got this great sentiment stamp from Verve recently and have wanted to put it to use so I thought it fit here along with a butterfly stamp that is also from Verve.
 Here is the CAS(E) this sketch.
This card also fits the Cas-ual Fridays challenge for "Over the Edge".

 For this card I put to use The Play Date Cafe combo.  At first my thought was it was a combo I was going to find too hard to use but once I sat down to play with it, I liked how it turned out.
 I just picked up this new embossing folder at Michaels and wanted it to fit here. The flowers are a punch from Martha Stewart and the leaves are the dark blue of the combo.
Here is The Play Date Cafe challenge.
Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
