I thought I would share a card I made that I would like to enter in one of my favorite challenges.
I wanted a CAS, faux one layer, card that appeared to have dimension. Starting with a Cream colored A2 panel I stamped my sentiment and then scored a line underneath to accentuate the sentiment without adding bulk. Unfortunately the score line is not super easy to see in the picture. Next I die cut my sprig of foliage. I set the die aside for a future project and then mounted the Cream panel to a Kraft card base.
Inside I added a Cream panel and stamped the image directly on to it. I added my sentiment and now it is ready to send to someone I am VERY grateful for : )

p.s. I have a cool crafty/antique give-away on my blog starting tomorrow and I hope you'll stop by my blog to enter.
This card is beautiful, I love how you scored under your sentiment! Sounds like you burned a fair few calories with your bike ride, I used to love biking and have looked at buying a bike a few times over the last year but then remember how upset my dogs would be if I went biking instead of walking with them :).
I'm so grateful for you, Patti. Your cards are beautiful. You have a wonderfully creative eye for deceptively simple looking designs that take quite a bit of talent to pull off. You know what to keep and what to take away. I'm so happy your move and new life are agreeing with you so well. 9 miles sounds like a lot, but I'll bet you enjoyed every minute of it. Hugs!
Truly a study in CASimply beautiful cardmaking, Patti. Perfect colors for this time of year and that sprig is a great choice. I am thankful you started your blog, and that through this wonderful world, we've become friends. Very thankful for you!! Sending blessings your way. Bev
Besides gray, neutrals are always what my heart is drawn to, Patti... this is just lovely! I may be CASEing this CAS beauty!

… wait! premature publishing!
Patti, I'm so very grateful for you, and the time we spent together this Summer! Thank YOU for being such a sweet, and thoughtful friend!

That is such a beautiful CAS design. I love the way you take the simple route and create a magnificent thing of beauty. I love the kraft and white colors together too. Wow! Sounds like lovely weather for a Fall day if you can go bike riding. Watch out for all those rattlers and poisonous spiders too. I think you said they love that part of the country.
Oh my, this is CAS prettiness at it's best Patti! I'm grateful for you sweet friend!
Happy November, Patti! I'm glad you are enjoying your warm NM fall! Your pretty sprig card is CASlicious in every way! I can see the score line under your sediment and I love the effect!! ❤Hugs, Darnell
Beautiful, simple - fantastic for our challenge at Time Out. Thank you so much for joining us.
What a stunning CAS design Patti! Really love that light score mark for dimension! Really sets off the greeting nicely! What a nice bike ride for you!! It's a little chilly for that over my way! :) HUGS
This is simply beautiful Patti! Love the soft neutral palette with the gorgeous leafy branch. The inside is a wonderful surprise for the recipient. xx
Love these soft tones! Absolutely gorgeous CAS card!
Thank you so much for playing with us at Time Out!
I love how you add simple touches like your scored line to bring an extra layer of fabulousness to your cards, and so nice to be mirrored on the inside too :)
