This weeks challenge from Freshly Made Sketches has been just that; a real Challenge, for me. This is the sketch
I am not into CAS (Clean and Simple) cards. Although I do like them and try not to make my cards too fussy, I find all that white space difficult to cope with. I could not work out what I could do and then whilst lying in bed trying to get to sleep last night, Geronimo – I remembered a tiny stamp I had that said you colour my world, with that and some colourful papers I could see myself getting there. I must have gone out like a light once I had solved the problem because the next thing I knew it was morning and I was raring to get started. Anyway I did it and I am quite pleased with the results. What do you think? 
I did make one concession, as I really couldn’t cope with quite so much white space and put half a dozen little tiny gems all different colours (to keep with the theme).
All for now
I think it’s perfect and you did well to add the little gems.

They are really so tiny that I don’t think they take anything away from this. Well I hope not lol.
Thanks for your support as always Claire xx

You did a fabulous job, Helen! Love the added gemstones, they add a bit of sparkle, but clean and elegant is at the fore!

Thanks Kathy, I am really pleased though still finding it hard to just “let go”. I have put it to the bottom of the pile waiting for inserts to be done, so I cannot see it. lol.
