A CAS CHALLENGE AT JACKSON'S DIGITAL EXPRESSIONS

Over at Jackson's Digital Expressions today the challenge (#27) is to make a Clean and Simple (CAS) card   ... but to use two dies too.  The sponsor for one of the prizes this week is QKR Stampede

What fun I had in creating my card using one of the sponsor's images called "Best Friends" that is available in their store HERE :

I coloured the image using alcohol markers and a white gel pen.  Here is a more detailed view of the image:
My two dies are the hearts (dies from Mariannes Creatables) that I used as the image from QKR also has a patchwork heart. 

The following supplies were also used to create this card:

yellow CS base card
kraft card background (it is actually the inside of a cookie box)
kraft card punched border that has been distressed
3 brads on each of the hearts
baker's twine

For a chance to win awesome prizes that include images from the awesomely talented Robert Jackson, as well as the the QKR store, click HERE to find your way to the challenge for some more inspiration ad the linky tool for your to enter your creation.
