Thanks for stopping by.

CAS-ology and Make My Monday


Hi everyone, have you ever started to make a card and then decided its all wrong and had to begin again? I made a flower using some blue papers which I was quite pleased with and then found after trying several different shades of blue that I didn't have the right colour ink for the sentiment.

I've made this card for CAS-ology week #27 - BLUE , as a second entry at Make My Monday to use DIES/PUNCHES, and as a second design team card for Addicted to CAS - EMBOSSING.


Dies and punches used: Paula Pascual Sizzix dies and stamps set to make the flower, 2 inch circle punch and corner rounder punch.

Thank you for stopping by and for your lovely comments.
