CASology Week 145: Shape




Hello and happy Tuesday.  It's time for another challenge at CASology.  This week, our cue word is SHAPE.  Lots of ways to go with this cue word.  I decided to make a shaped card.  I had some card bases and fronts that I had cut way back when I borrowed a friend's PTI onesie die.  I used that to trace the onesie onto some Sweet Blush paper and cut it out by hand.

I used an old Market Street background stamp to get some tone on tone pink to add interest to my solid card front, and then added these sweet Paper Smooches elephants that I paper pieced with some Pebbles Lakeside paper.  


I am also entering this card over at Paper Smooches Sparks where the challenge this week is Anything Goes.



So, what do you think?  Will you play along this week and make something inspired by the word SHAPE?  Please remember to keep your card Clean and Simple.

Head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from the design team.

    A little bird let it slip that someone we know is celebrating a birthday. Could it be Joyce? Have a great one, and enjoy your special day!
