CAS Valentine
Limited crafting time this week as I added some hours at work. I've gotten used to my part time schedule & I don't like working 4 days in a row--spoiled, I know! I just remind myself it means a few more dollars to spend on stamping goodies! PTI is celebrating their 6th anniversary & the first contest doesn't end until the 15th. I still needed to get a Valentine made for my brother & SIL & I found just the inspiration I needed from Maile's wonderful CAS card. I finally opened my Background Basics: Medallions which I inked with Memento markers Lady Bug & Tangelo. I stamped on a Memory Box die cut heart. The sentiment is by A Muse Artstamps which I inked with the Tangelo marker, colored the little heart with the Lady Bug marker & added Glossy Accents. It was hard to decide what else to do, but I settled on some cascading pearls & gems in the same colors. The heart is popped up with foam tape. I'm thinking red & orange together make a non-traditional color scheme so I'm also entering this into the current Die Cut Divas challenge. Just realized this qualifies for the challenge at A Passion for Papertrey--new blog I recently discovered. Thanks for coming by--I love reading what you think.
Absolutely darling, Greta! Love your stamping on the heart and the added gems are lovely touches! You have captured the essence of a CAS card!
ReplyDeleteI love that card from Maile and your take is gorgeous, Greta! Beautiful stamping on the heart!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful CAS card, Greta! Love the stamping on the die cut and love the "bubbles" hearts!
ReplyDeleteHello Greta
ReplyDeleteYou have made a gorgeous card. The colour palette is unique.
Orange; is a power colour.
Red is associated with a fiery heat, so together they relate a vibrant energy, and making it a CAS design against a White backdrop is stunning.
