I'm in awe of my clean & simple card-making friends...it seems that no matter how I try to do CAS, this is about as close as I get!
I was inspired by several challenges to day...love when the challenge combinations come together in a project! The CAS-ual Fridays #108: Material Girl calls for some type of material on your project...here I used some Hemp Twine and some Burlap Twine. That "ah-mazing" sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Exclamations is PERFECT for the Let's Get Word Challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges this week, too!
The CAS(E) this Sketch #35 has some cool splatters in the back ground which led me to using the City Crafter Challenge #166: Cooling Down... a wonderful combination!
i {heart} papers is the place to shop for stamps, ink, paper, twine...here, I've used the CAS-ual Friday Stamps Exclamations stamp set, Crafter's Companion white cardstock, Studio Calico Atlantic paper, Momento Rich Cocoa ink, and Timeless Tags dies...all from i {heart} papers!
When you stop in at the IHP store, let them know Stacey sent you!
There's still plenty of time to get in on my Birthday Linky Party fun and a chance to win a fantastic prize! Head on over HERE and click through the fabulous entries there are already:) Prize drawings will be held on July 10th at noon CDT!
