~ So Happy You Exist ~

Happy Friday Friends!

Today's Team Friday challenge is to create a clean and simple project.  Our design needed to incorporate at least one image and three dies.  I love clean and simple (CAS) card designs and I have a lot of respect for CAS designers, they are truly talented!

The designs I create on a regular basis, however, would not be considered clean and simple.
  I love telling a story with my creations and my designs usually have a lot of layers and dimension.  The project I created to share with you today is about as clean and simple as I can get and still tell the story I had in my head.



Here's proof that unicorns do exist...I actually have a photo proving it...lol  I have had this Photo Elements Die in my stash for quite some time now just waiting for the perfect image and sentiment to use with it.  I knew the moment I saw the sentiment, "so Happy you Exist", that this would be the perfect sentiment to use with this die along with this adorable unicorn from the Be Unique Clear Stamp Set.  I loved creating this whimsical and dreamy little photo scene proving that unicorns really do exist!



Clean and simple cards usually have a lot of "white" space so I wanted the unicorn to stand out in my design with it's colors being pulled in by the colors of the dots in the designer paper from the Endless Summer Paper Pack.  These dots remind me of little planets floating out in this dreamlike universe.  I added different sized stars from the Small Stars Die Set, a couple small clouds from the Stitched Sun & Clouds Die Set, the Stitched Rainbow Die and Tall Caste Die to help bring my vision to life.  I really love how this project turned out!  I'm gonna have to make CAS cards a more regular part of my card design regiment for sure.
