Rendezvous Monday CAS

Okay as I told y'all yesterday Shannon had a really cool challenge at Cuttlebug Challenges well I was able to get in on this challenge this morning I love Shannon's samples and this was such an easy one we had a color challenge and we were to keep it clean and simple the colors were Black Kraft and Ivory loved that combo and I think I may even try another card hope you like this one.

Here are the how-to's on my card

first I started with a 51/2 x4 1/4 black card added a layer of ivory about 5 3/8 x4 3/8 than cut a piece of Kraft 5 1/4 x 4 ran it through the cuttlebug with the allegro EP folder stamped my image and verse on ivory using Tim Holtz Vintage Paper distress inks layered on black and there you have it Clean and Simple
