Whilst trying to get a bit of order to my crafting I have been browsing on blogs and facebook pages.
I have been keeping an eye on Jo Dumbleton this week as she has been selling some of her old SU stamp sets - like I need any but I had to have a look. It has inspired me to dust down some and have a play.
On Jo's facebook page she set a challenge too yesterday for a CAS (clean and simple) card. I have actually been playing with a few commissions today (in between some constructive craft tidy) so literally made this quickly.
I also wanted to try the kraft/white colour scheme as I saw some cards at Christmas that used it and they were lovely.
I have used the Happy Birthday from the SU Sassy Salutations set which I've heat embossed with some fab fine white WOW powder. I've layered this up and put it over a strip of punched dotted scallop ribbon border and finished with the now discontinued SU photo corner punches. It's not amazing but it's ok and I will definitely use the colours again.
I am also entering this for Addicted to CAS Challenge 4 - Embossing.
Karen over at Serendipity Dragonfly is the host for this challenge - I might even try another!
Great card Jill. Love kraft and white - so stylish! If you've embossed your sentiment it would fit in perfectly with our new challenge at Addicted to CAS which is embossing ( http://www.addictedtocas.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/hello-2013-lets-get-embossed.html) - we' love you to join in the fun - there's a great prize up for grabs!

Clean and simple seems to be popular but not with me - too much opportunity for messy fingerprints and smudges in the making LOL!! This is very effective and I like the kraft and white idea.
ReplyDeleteA great CAS card Jill and so effective, kraft card and white certainly go well together...
