Brandon (my 10 YO son) set his alarm for 5 am this morning, so he could create his CAS card for the week -- of course I haven't had a chance to do mine.
He started with the Shades of Spring DP. He punched each of the squares with my 1-1/4" square punch (this made it really easy for him to line things up). He attached each square to a piece of whisper white CS, and then trimmed the edges (with a little help). I helped him with the bow. He wanted the celery button on there "to give it more color". He is teaching me to look at things differently. I would have used a white button, never a celery button -- but his really works. He stamped the sentiment at the bottom. The new clear mounted stamps really make it easy to line things up.
Brandon said to tell "my Stamping Ladies" Thanks a lot for looking at his card, and for the nice comments!!
This is a very nice card - I'm going to make one for myself! The celery button really brings it to life - great choice of colors (I wouldn't have done white, but I would have tried to match the paper and would have been wondering why it was so bland....)

Brandon, your card caught my eye when I was looking through today's CAS posts. I like your the attention to detail... including how you arranged the striped on the pink paper and that you decorated the inside of the card, too.

Wow! Brandon, what a GREAT CARD! I think you've got your own fan club of stampin' ladies! I just love how you layered the ribbon and put that little splash of green there! Fabulous!
