CASology Week 158: Precious



Hello and happy Tuesday.  It's time for another challenge at CASology.  Our cue word this week is PRECIOUS.  I thought I would make a baby card, because what is more precious than new life, right?  However, my stash of baby cards far exceeds what I am likely to need for a long time, so I kept thinking.

I thought of precious metals and precious stones, and decided to use some PTI Luxe Gold paper for the metal and a Facets cover plate die from W&W and jewel toned papers for my precious stones.  I used the die to cut multiple times from all my different papers, and then pieced it back together.  Yes, it took a long time...


I am also entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes.



Now, it's your turn.  How are you inspired by PRECIOUS?  I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.

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

    LOVE this card! The rich, vibrant colors bring to mind gems and I like the offset panels. I do not have this die but I have a similar MFT die, however, it has fewer little pieces. Quilts have always been a fav of mine and the piecing of this die (and MFT's) remind me of that. Seems like I've made a half dz pieced cards with it and they all were a hit. Next time I will try cutting just a section of it and using yours or a similar sketch. THANKS for the inspiration! :)I

    Hey Joyce!! I love your card. I love the precious look it give to. Mosaic pieces are super delicate. Nicely done. I've been eyeing that stamp set for a while now, I might get it.
