Paper Players Challenge #60- CAS Sketch Challenge

Hello there! It's Sunday and that means it's time for another FUN challenge over at the Paper Players!! This week, LeAnne is our "hostess with the most-est" and she has whipped up this fabulous sketch to play along with. We hope you will ink up some stamps and play along with your clean and simple (CAS) design this week! 
I have to admit, when I was first constructing this card, I did NOT let the Clean & Simple  RULE register. I created another card...really heavy on the bling...that was abandoned, last minute, for this challenge. When it came to a CAS card, I immediately turned to the new Button Buddies stamp set, SHOCKING, huh?? This set has been my "go-to" set since it arrived on my doorstep. I know I said I was going to give it a rest...BUT, it's too cute not to ink up. I use this set entirely TOO much! Ugh!! 


I added some Pumpkin Pie brads (ret.) to my pumpkins. Ever though they are retired, these Corduroy Button/Brad accents are one of my all-time favorites. So much texture and dimension at one time! All the layers on the card are popped up and I kept the ribbon treatment simple on this one. The sentiment is heat embossed for added shine. 
Here is the simply decorated inside of the card: 
Thanks for visiting today! Please hop on over to the Paper Players and see what the rest of the DT have created this week.
