Ok, I set a challenge for myself to do only CAS cards this week. At 365 Cards, Day 166 - Card Recipe, really made that impossible for me! The recipe is to use (and mix gently!)
Ingredients -
4x7 card
5 blossoms
glitter
wet embossed sentiment
3 different patterned papers
No problem finding the designer paper, no problem deciding to lace cut the edge to let the 2nd designer paper show through. Then, I couldn't get the 5 blossoms to work or the 3rd DP. So after sleeping on it and fretting for several hours (can't be CAS if you fret)I looked at my DP and thought, there's the blossoms! Then I needed to emboss the sentiment, that took another hour to make that decision and, oh yeah, the glitter! Decided to punch out itty bitty butterflies and I thought, it' OK, go with it! I did use Ranger distress ink to soften and antique the paper some.
Two more CAS cards to post, ahhh, maybe I won't clean the house, but take a nap instead!
Have a sunny day!
