Thank you!, CAS,

CASology week#343: the theme is "Color" so I'm liking hot pink and turquoise these days.  I used Stampin' Up's Gorgeous Grunge for the splatter's and Color me happy's "Thank You" stamp to create this bright and simple card.  I didn't mask and I think it looks fun with the splatters.  This Card is also fitting for JUGS Challenge #487 which is for BOLD lettering.

For your new nest, DCD#248

I wanted to participate in the latest challenge by Die Cuttin Diva's, which is to use a bird on your card.  I have tons of rubber stamps of birds, but I wasn't getting a direction on what to do with them.  I've decided I work best when I have a theme and a sketch, so I'm going to use all the old CAS sketches starting with #1 and create current challenges with them.  I used pattern paper from The Angel Company for the circles and die cut the birds (by A*muse,and the nest is cuttlebug).  The sentiment  "For your new nest" is from "Paper Sweeties".    This will make a fun card for a house warming party.

Winter Birthday Wishes LIM#258, CAS#74

 

Another shot at CAS and can you see my indecision?
I made this card two ways, to the right first and then centered in the middle.  While I like how both of them turned out, stamping in the middle seems the safer (more balanced) less creatively risky way - Using the words safe and risky sound odd when referencing art, but those stampers with confidence issues will understand!  I added Stampin' up dazzling details to the center of the top snowflake for added sparkle without the bulk.  Four different stamps were used to create this card two different unmounted snowflakes, the flourish and a sentiment.
This card was inspired by the Less is More Challenge #258 to use a flourish & CAS on Sunday #74 Winter theme.
