CAS Times Two

Happy Wednesday, peeps!  I have a couple of easy CAS cards to share today!  The CAS on Sunday challenge is to use your favorite flower stamp, and the Hand Stamped Sentiment challenge is a nice sketch:

So here we go:

My friend Martha gave me this stamp a while back and I totally forgot I had it, and came across while doing a bit of organizing.  I must say, I was really impressed with how it stamped and how the images lined up.  It's from Altenew and usually their images are a little more loosely layered, but this has an outline image and it matched up perfectly.  I will also say that I rarely use purples, and here I've used them two times in a row!  I think if I were to do this again, I would not choose Blackberry Bliss for the darker tone; I used Purple Posy and Highland Heather for the lighter areas (and I know the Posy is not available but I managed to get an ink pad before they discontinued it, and I love the lighter shade!!!) and I just think the Blackberry is too much of a contrast!  But I still think it's quite impressive!  I fussy-cut it and the leaves out, then mounted them on a diecut and embossed panel backed with a Soft Seafoam mat, and if you look very closely, you can see a few Seafoam sprigs stamped below the flower; they are from a W+9 set, as is the sentiment:

A few sequins finished it off.

I discovered this card that I made last week, hiding under a pile of stamp sets on my desk; I forgot all about it!  It's for the popular CAS(E) This Sketch, which I am squeaking in under the wire:

I was very sad that SU didn't bring this Honey Bee bundle into the new catalog, so I thought I would play with this glittery bee a little more, pairing it with some Golden Honey DSP and embossed card front:

I pieced some Basic Black glimmer paper into the Gold bee and added a little sentiment on a diecut:

I have a TOPS friend who is struggling with being cooped up inside, so I thought this would cheer her up!  Thanks for popping in today!  And here's a face that is BOUND to cheer you up:

 I'll leave you with that!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
