CAS #15

This week's CAS-ual Friday challenge uses a sketch from the Clean and Simple Stamping blog.

Here's my card:

Not sure how I feel a about this one. The sketch felt really crowded on my card, probably because the stamp I used was so large. Anyway, I really struggled to pull this one together - this was my 2nd attempt and I still don't know that I'm completely happy with it.

This week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge was to use some glitter and some glue dots on a clean & simple card. I had never used glue dots before. They're pretty cool - other than the dilemma of how to get them off the roll without distorting them (I found pressing the dots to the paper without trying to peel them off the roll worked the best). Needless to say, a bit of a learning experience. And I don't usually mess with glitter since it makes such a mess, but the glue dots hold it pretty well, so I may have to start putting some glitter on some of my other projects. Anyway, enough chit-chat, here's my card:

Challenge blog find #2! CAS-ual Fridays is all about keeping your designs Clean And Simple. This week's challenge was to make a 4 x 9 card.

I took an idea from another card I had done and simplified it down to a single flower.

I may have to try this size card again, it presents some interesting design challenges/possibilities.
