It’s Sunday, and time for another Paper Players blog challenge. This week, it’s Ann’s turn with a CAS “Animal” themed Challenge. A CAS card is a clean and simple design with lots of white space, minimal layers and little embellishment. In most cases, CAS cards are quick, easy and great when you need multiples of cards for a particular occasion or just to have on hand.
Let It Ride is a retired stamp set but one I kept in my archives because I loved the energy of the images and sentiments. Horses are beautiful, powerful and have keen intuition. They know love and give it just as dogs do. I’ve rescued two shelter dogs and know the unconditional love they are capable of giving.
I stamped the horse image with Soft Suede ink and softened the lines with my Blender Pen. This was a very easy process. My image might be a wild horse, I’m not sure, but I did soften him a bit.
This sentiment is full of energy and vitality just like the horse… a message of encouragement and one that I hope resonates with you as Spring is finally here and the days are getting longer. (Be sure to be safe and vigilant, though). (smile!!)
So, cut that Basic White card base, add a layer with a beautiful stamped image and create something encouraging!!
…the only limitation is your imagination!

Clean and beautiful, Debbie! I love the simplicity of just softening the lines with a Blender Pen. This is my favorite sentiment from the set! CAS perfection! Have a wonderful week!
Thank you, Ann. There are quite a few sets I just can’t part with and this is one of them.
That sentiment is a great reminder Debbie for all of us. I Love that image and I can see why you have kept it in your inventory. This card is CAS perfection!
Nancy, thank you! This is one of those sets that I will probably not be able to part with. That sentiment is a reminder for certain. You’re in my good thoughts. Have a restful (as best you can) week!
Debbie, I just love everything about this card. The horse is so beautiful but, the sentiment steals the show! CAS perfection! Have a great weekend!
Claire, thank you always for your kind words.
CAS perfection! I love the minimal coloring while still keeping the details and movement! Have a great weekend!
Thank you, Amanda. Love CAS cards. So quick and easy to put together.
What a wonderful image and sentiment! As a horse rider, I completely understand that feeling of complete and utter freedom… thank you for bringing such wonderful memories to the forefront. Isn’t that the great thing about a card – it can truly transport you. Fabulous CAS card, too!

It is the truth, Jaydee. Card making is a wonderful outlet and card sending is even better. Thank you!
This set was a keeper for me too Debbie – I love the freedom these images convey and that sentiment is one of my all-time favourites. Beautifully CAS and those soft lines are a great touch. Fab card!
Thank you, Joanne.
Simply stunning, Debbie! This card is so striking with the clean design and the soft pops of color.
