CAS Happy Thoughts- The Flower Challenge

Good Morning.
A new month means a new theme at 



We have a PRIZE to give away again this month. The amazing Michele from 
CAS-ual Fridays stamps has generously agreed to give our lucky winner this month a
prize of $25. All the Design Team have used CAS-ual Fridays stamps also on their cards. Michele very kindly gave us all some of her stamps to use on our cards ;)



We also have a new Guest Designer for October ,Tina Magnusson I am sure you will agree she makes such beautiful cards. Do check out her blog you won't be disappointed!.

This is how I created my card.

I began by rubbing some Blueprint Sketch DOX ink onto a piece of acetate, sprayed with water and pressed onto my white cardstock just to one side.  I tried to leave some white open space as we are creating a CAS style of card.  Next, I place the Simple Grid stencil over the inked area and added some random bits of stencilling for interest using some Tumbled Glass DOX ink.
While that dried, I took a piece of white cardstock and using some more DOX inks in the same colours as mentioned above and a wet paintbrush, I painted the flowers then fussy cut them out along with the leaves.
I stamped the sentiment using my Misti, then added the scored lines to help define the stamped areas.
I simply mounted it all onto some heavy white cardstock.


Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
