Happy Tuesday, friends. It's time for another cue word at CASology. This week, our cue word is GRASS. Hmmm. I can think of a couple of ways to interpret this word, and I definitely do NOT have stamps for that. I went back to one of my earliest stamp purchases--where I fell in love with the grass image in the stamp set, and then bought the set used from the PTI Forum.
I colored my focal point with Distress Markers and then added texture to the front panel. I don't know why, but I still really love this grass. Perhaps because it never needs water, cutting or weeding? I live in a older neighborhood, and most of the mailboxes on our street (including mine) look just like this.
Now, it is your turn. What do you think of when you see the word GRASS? Have some fun with the cue word GRASS, and then please link up your creation on the CASology blog by Monday at noon (CST).
Check out the beautiful designs from the CASology Design Team members and see how they were inspired by GRASS. Don't forget to keep your card Clean and Simple.
Thanks for Visiting
Joyce what a totally fun image, I have never seen this before. Love how you coloured them!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Joyce. I love the texture in the background and where you stamped the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteLove your sweet card! I still have that set and was even thinking of using it on a recent challenge. Love that cool grass too!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this sweet mailbox stamp! Fun take on the cue card this week Joyce!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, Joyce. It reminds me of the boxes at the lake.
ReplyDeleteThis is cute...reminds me of the mailboxes in front of your house! This should be an interesting week with the theme being grass.
ReplyDeleteI remember this stamp set - I love how you've shaded it and then offset the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteThose cute mailboxes go well with the sentiment! Love your card! I always want to have a mailbox like yours. Hopefully some day when I buy a house? Haha! May
ReplyDeleteso cute! gonna have to play!
ReplyDeleteOh these mail boxes are so fun, Joyce, perfectly perched above the grassy knoll ... ours, whilst a different style of box, wouldn't look at all out of (it's wonky) place alongside them! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable, Love that grass beneath the mail box. Love the subtle embossed BG too
ReplyDeleteLove your charming mailboxes and how you created texture to the background on this card! Very sweet scene, Joyce!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Glad I'm not the only one who's thoughts went in that direction! I love those sweet little mailboxes and the cool way you framed the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteHa, I thought the same thing, too! (Great minds think alike, right?) I do love the grassy mailbox scene on your sweet card...and you know I adore that dry embossed background!
ReplyDeleteCUTE card Joyce!! The mailboxes remind me of a scene from Close Encounters of the Third Kind!!
ReplyDeleteThat is the perfect shade of blue for those mailboxes!! Love how you shadowed the insides for a little added mystery!
ReplyDeleteLove the texture added to your stamping
ReplyDeleteThis is so so sweet...I love your row of mailboxes all nestled in the green grass (no drought on your card) and as always, I love that background embossing, love the way it makes your card look.
ReplyDeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteLove those mailboxes! :)
And my first thought when I saw "grass" is still illegal in most states and so far I don't have any stamps depicting any manner of said grass. :)
Love the mailboxes, tells me I need to mail out my cards more!!!!! Sorry late stopping by, I thought I did drop by and say hello earlier!!!! HUGS, Kimberly!
ReplyDeleteCute Mailbox Image Joyce it reminds me that I must send much letter or cards agree with Kimberly...great colors too and great idea with grass lovely embossing paper too...I love always your CAS card...hugs...Monika (just put on the last 3 hours my Grass card...wish you like to see it on my Blog Joyce..)
ReplyDeleteI love how you use embossing in your cards - subtle but great impact.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun image, Joyce, and so appropriate! Our mailbox tends to look just like these! :)
