Happy CAS Monday

This is my first design team card for the Clean and Simple challenge on SCS.  Today's challenge is called "Quotes, Verse & Sayings" and the task at hand is to make a card with the greeting as the focal part of our card.  I just wasn't sure what to do , so I made a few samples.  This happened to be the first one that I loaded and the one that Jen (MissBoo) linked to my new in the challenge thread :)

I built the card from the patterned paper up. I chose the Sahara Sand base to work with the paper.  I stamped my sentiment on Vanilla and matted it with black.  The I chose the black grosgrain ribbon to help transition the layers and tied it off with linen thread!

Thanks for stopping by.  If you get a chance to play, link me up your card so I can check it out!
