Clean and Simple Cards: Three is the perfect number

Today cards make me really happy. They follow a clean and simple (CAS) style and the main image is repeated in a trio. Odd numbers of elements are usually more pleasing to the eye. I did the first one for Splitcoaststampers CAS challenge.

I intended to use it for the Raspberry Suite challenge too, but forgot to use vintage cream as a base (as opposed to my usual white base). So now it lacks one of the challenge colors. I may do another similar card for that challenge. I used CM heart punches, PTI white, chocolate and lemon tart CS, PTI polka dot basics DP, SU! border punch, Sissix polka dot embossing folder and PTI aqua mist ribbon.

The next one is a birthday card using the SU! Circle Circus stamp set. It is one of my favorite stamp sets.

I used CTMH ink in Ocean, Bubblegum and Hydrangea, PTI white CS, SU! Bermuda Bay CS and SU! scallop punch. The sentiment is CTMH Happy Birthday Set. I added pearls to the center to add a little bling.
