Krafty Chicks challenge #777 CAS

Good morning lovely friends. I hope you're all doing ok and having a great week so far. It's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge and this week we are on Week 3; as always the theme is 'CAS' and Diane is our hostess. I know clean and simple means different things to everyone, but generally we want to see an uncluttered design, lots of open space with little or no embellishments. We hope you are up for the challenge and you will come over and join in the fun with us.

For today's card I am again using an image that I had already coloured for another project but never used, although at that time I only needed the horse so hadn't stamped the hedgie but that was easily rectified, along with some fussy cutting.  I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the gorgeous image:

Plus I decorated the inside:

So I began by fussy cutting out the horse which I had previously coloured with Promarkers and added some white gelly roll highlights.  I stamped the hedgie part of the stamp onto a scrap of alcohol marker friendly card, coloured it with Promarkers, added some white gelly roll highlights and again fussy cut it out.  Thankfully because the rope has lines it was easy enough to join them together, with liquid glue, without an obvious line.  I cut a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and used what ink was left on my green and blue blending brushes to create a soft blended background.  I added the image with foam squares and stamped the small sentiment just above it in black ink.  I cut some scrap white card and adhered that behind my panel for stability and dimension and this was added to the card base with double sided tape.  I decided not to add any embellishments to keep it as CAS as possible.  For the inside I kept it really simple; I cut a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and stamped the image at the bottom using second generation stamping so that it would be a little more subtle.  I then stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink.  The panel was added to the card base with double sided tape.   I love Penny Black images and I think it turned out really cute.
