I just had to join in on another CAS-ual Fridays challenge. This one is to make a tall card and keep it simple.
The card measures 4 X 9. I love the look of tall cards! I colored the butterflies with Copics and was inspired by Brenda's card! So pretty! This butterfly is from the Antique Engravings clear set, from Hero Arts. The sentiment is also Hero Arts and has been cut apart so I could place it where I wanted on the card.
I had a tough time not using a background stamp, or adding any embellishments but I'm doing as told and embracing my white space!
Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate each comment so much! They definitely put a smile on my face! See?--------> :)
Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi Barb! You are too sweet! I am so glad I inspired you to colour today! Aren't these butterflies the most beautiful things ever! I love your CAS tall card! Just superb! I know what you mean, it's hard not to add a thing here and there!
What a beauty. You did well to embrace the white spaces. I too struggle with this!
This is SO beautiful, Barb! The trio of butterflies is perfect with the tall card! So glad that you played with us this week at CAS-ual Fridays!
I love this, Barb! Perfect design and I love the colors that you chose for the butterflies! Tall cards are definitely your specialty!
This is really beautiful Barb- love the coloring and the simplicity of the card! We really need to get together soon- even before Scrapfest :)!
I love the bright colors on the butterflies..I just made a card for this challenge too...it is big!! Lots of white space!
Hi Barb, I love your card and your butterflies are gorgeous. Love your simple, elegant design. (My daughter submitted a card for CFC #13, she is entry #43, Pam Funk.) Thanks for your sweet comment on my card. Hugs to you.

Hi Barb! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving such a kind message!

Hi, Barb! I LOVE this idea...I actually thought of stamping multiple butterflies in a 4x9 card for this challenge...so glad you did it because it is LOVELY! Your coloring is amzing, by the way. (I still don't have Copics...not sure what is holding me back other than the cost!) Good luck with the challenge..this card is perfect for it!
I love your beautiful butterflies enjoying themselves in all of that white space! So lovely Barb, so refreshing!
This is such a lovely card, Barb! So classic and pretty. I think you have this white space thing mastered - it means that the design has to be really exceptional and yours is. Perfect placement of the images, great balance and cool that you cut the sentiment to make it work so perfectly.
PS - I love that you took this picture on your deck - makes it feel like I am there, too. Wait, I need another ice cube in my tea!

I love your tall card Barb. The butterflies are beautiful! It's hard to "embrace" the white space, isn't it?

Wow Barb, If I was a judge this would be a winner! just gorgeous!
beautiful card, barb!
Wow those butterflies are gorgeous! A perfect choice of colors. Thanks for playing at CAS-ual Fridays!
Barb sweetie this is totally outstanding. The vibrancy and beauty of each winged creature is just brilliant. Love how the pop against the white and look to almost fly of the page. Sure hoep that you win this challenge. You deserve too.
gorgeous butterflies!!
Super pretty, Barb :) I know what you mean about the white space- I am not very good with it either!!
I really need to get that butterfly stamp. I see it all over and I always gasp when I see it. Love the colors you've chosen for your card! Thank you so much for playing along at CAS-ual Fridays.
Wow...I'm ashamed to say that I have this stamp but have NEVER inked it up. You've inspired me to do just that though! Gorgeous colors, subject and sentiment placement.
Oh so beautiful! Love the clean design and the lovely butterflies.
This is such a pretty card!
Thanks for playing at CAS-ual Fridays!
