Happy Tuesday, peeps! It's an early day, I pick up Cassidy at 7:15 and we have some errands to run and then who knows what we'll get into! I quick made a card last night before bedtime, using the 1/3 corner challenge at Perfectly CAS, and the shell challenge at Fusion:
I am not sure if my card is CAS enough, as I do have some layering of my shells, but I still like the simplicity of it, so I am sticking with it! Here we go:
I haven't used Very Vanilla very much lately, so I started by sponging the lower right corner with some Balmy Blue ink, then stamped a really old Cornish Heritage Farms Cheesecloth background stamp over top in Sahara Sand ink. Pulling out Friends are Like Seashells, I stamped and lightly colored in some shells, starfish and sand dollar with Blends, then fussy-cut them out; I do have the dies, but I wanted to have no "halo" around the edges:
I added a few gold metallic pearls and a sentiment from the same set. This makes me feel happy--almost like being at the beach! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

The cheesecloth is da bomb! It's CAS enough for me, but then I'm not the judge...lol! Have fun with Cassidy today. I hope you create something together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card LeAnne with just such a peaceful feel! The cheesecloth stamp is a real keeper isn't it and I love your subtle inking and those pretty shells. Have fun with Cassidy! Vicky x
