Hello crafty readers! This is Crystal Komara here with you today sharing two cards that both feature a lot of white space. You might call these CAS or “clean and simple” cards. I love white for it’s clean and fresh look and it allows the vibrant alcohol ink colored heart and butterfly to be the focal point.

For this first A2 sized card, the base was made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. I die cut the Viola Layering Plate C from white cardstock and used that as a background. I had already created the alcohol ink background and simply die cut Layer A from the Dahlia Heart and adhered it over the heart.

I die cut the words using the Handwritten Love You and Outline. The first layer was die cut from magenta cardstock and the thinner top layer was cut from white cardstock.
I followed the same steps for this second card, but in lieu of the heart, I used Layer A from the Glimmer Butterfly.
