Live in the Moment

If you follow me, you know I rarely make CAS (clean and simple) cards. I'm all about lots of layers. So I was thrilled that this card turned out so well! I used a Paper Smooches die, some Hero Arts stamps and a piece of Simple Stories paper. I love those streamers on the handlebars and the sentiment reminds me of how much I used to enjoy riding my first bicycle.

This card is also for CFC109 over on CAS-ual Fridays and CAS(E) this sketch #36.

Here's hoping you have a chance to get inky today!

Thank you

I love the look of this CAS (clean and simple) card. I just punched out a couple of cirles and used some ColorBox ink and some cotton balls to color in the circles. The faces are a set of four stamps from DeNami and the sentiment is from Hero Arts.

 

I think I'll call a friend today that I've been missing. Why don't you do the same? It's good for a smile and that warm fuzzy feeling.

VCMP Challenge 4, 6 and 7

The VCMP is still going strong over on Stars and Stripes. Have you been playing along? I've fallen behind a bit, but we have until Sunday to complete them all.

This is for challenge 4 (beachy thinking of you) and 6 (sand and sea):

I colored the image with watercolor pencils and used a water pen to finish it. The stamp is Beachfront Boat from Stampendous. The sentiment is from DeNami. I added a few Pearl Pen dots to make it stand out more. The background is Cuttlebugged with Forest Branches. Both images are popped with dimensional adhesive.

Challenge 7 is CAS (clean and simple). I decided to try a new technique I saw here. It's really simple but makes a gorgeous impact. It's not often I don't do any layering or popping of images.

I used a cotton ball and spun suger distress ink for background. The flowers are from Our Crafty Lounge and the sentiment is Studio G. I used Dixie's bow tying technique for the bow.

I hope you have time to play along.
