Popping in quickly to share two cards. The first one is for this week's CASology #24, where the key word is 'Star'. I immediately thought to pull out Star Prints, which is kind of new to me. I also added a few stars from the Tag it's set. I die cut part of the star from the front panel, and replaced it with the red star in the negative space. The front panel is raised, but the red star is not.

Next up is a card for RetroSketches #42. Here is the sketch.
I found this sketch to be trickier than I originally thought. I tried a number of things before settling on this card. Still not quite sure if I like the card, but I know I love that cute mitten paper.

ReplyDeleteThe star card is so cute and smart with that raised panel...love the cute mittens and the think big sentiment is perfect for the star in the inspiration picture!
ReplyDeleteLove the star card Joyce - the design & background texture are great! The mitten card is a perfect take on the sketch - I was playing around a bit with that sketch, but found it tougher than it looks and haven't finished anything yet.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous red and gold colour scheme - so elegant and pretty! Thanks so much for playing along with CASology this week. We think you're a star!
ReplyDeleteLove your star coming off the edge, it really pops. The mittens card with the ribbon is a lovely rich purple.
