Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Hubby and I had a great time visiting with our family and hated to see them leave.
This is my last card for the Splitcoaststampers CAS DT. It is challenge#274 and I gave the challenge for May Flowers. It was a fun time being on the team and I have a new love for CAS cards. I used a geranium from Sparkle N Sprinkle. My card was so simple. I just cut out two ovals and placed one on top of the other in an offset style. The geranium stem and flowers are colored with Copics. I hand cut the geranium and popped it on the top oval.
I have decided I must have a break. My sister and I are going to Atlanta this week to a couple of scrapbook stores. Actually, they are outside Atlanta in Roswell and Marietta, GA. She has been there and said they are super. Can't wait. Then, I have some other things I need to get done so I'll be away from my blog after this post for a short while. I'm sure I'll miss everyone but you know how hectic things get.

This is beautiful Benzi! I love it! Take a break and when you come back show us all the goodies you bought !
Brenda such a delightful card!! I love the clean white with the gingham. The hand cut geranium looks beautiful atop it! Have fun with your sis and enjoy your break! Life does seem pretty busy lately :)
I love your card and how you designed it. Looks like we are going to get some rain here. So enjoy Atlanta with your sis. How nice...Hugs, joann
Lovely, Brenda! I like how you did the contrasting die cut ovals and the fussy cut flower too! Very pretty sentiment and wonderful card!
Wow, I really like how you masked and reverse masked and the stenciling too! Really vibrant and beautiful. Hope you had fun with your GC's last weekend.
I put my comment on the wrong post. Duh Me and I truly do not drink!!. LOL
I love geraniums and this is so pretty! Love that gingham with it! Enjoy your break. Hope to see you back soon.
A beautiful card Brenda. Wonderfully colored Geranium.
Oh, Benzi, those geraniums are colored perfectly! They exactly match the ones I have growing on my back patio. I love the way you did the offset die cut behind the image and the green gingham is marvelous. I can't believe your term with SCS is already over. Seems like it just began a couple of weeks ago. :-D I'm off for travels starting tomorrow and may be MIA from visits for a couple of weeks.
Hi Benzi. Your flowers are so pretty and I LOVE that you've paired them with the bright green gingham - awesome!
Enjoy your time away ... and have fun shopping!! :) You deserve a break ... I don't know how you kept up with your CAS DT and DD DT ... you've been so busy! Take some time to relax! Loll xx
Oooh that sounds like a 'dangerous' shopping trip with your sis ;) Have a fab time ... look forward to seeing your purchases!!!
Beautiful card, love how you used your gingham base xx
Stunning coloring ~ we have a beautiful geranium on the front porch and you've captured the essence of it beautifully with your card! Glad you were able to get a visit in, that's always a nice thing!
Beautiful card, Benzi, and have a wonderful trip with your sister! See you when you have time to come back. :)
Great CAS card. Enjoy your time with your sister and Happy shopping. Would love to be shopping with you. (but I haven't even used the stuff I purchased in my last shopping spree...i think I'm addicted to crafts...smile)
Eine wunderschöne Blume in einem schönen Rahmen, Brenda. Die Karte wirkt sehr elegant.
Ich wünsche dir eine schöne Zeit in Atlanta. Habe viel Spaß dort.
Liebe Grüße, Anja
so glad to hear you were going on a LSS adventure with your sister....I am envious as neither my sister nor any of my very close friends are into stamping......that is why I find such joy in the SCS community...take your time and get things done, including some relaxing....hugs, Joanne
Benzi-I just love the way you did the die cuts on this card. What a sweet design feature. You have created a beauty here. Hope your trip to Atlanta is fabulous. My Mother asked me to come home so I will be going in a couple weeks. She is not doing well at all.
Bear Hugs,
Carol
I love this simple but very pretty card Brenda. Hope you are having a good break but looking forward to your return.
Hugs

Oh, Oh, Oh, I think I have the SnS geranium set, so must see if this stamp is part of that set. Lovely coloring - so pretty and I'm loving the offset gingham scallop oval behind the focal point. So very effective. Liked the way you've added the dropped corner sentiment too. Great card. TFS & Hugs
This is beautiful, love all the white space and the splash of color,
