Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology. Our cue word this week is WRITE. A perfect word for this time of year, as my thoughts move towards the start of school. It's a new situation for me this year--I only have one daughter starting school this September. My oldest graduated in May, and will be spending this year traveling and having adventures while she takes a Gap Year before starting college in the fall of 2016.
I chose a simple primary color scheme for my pencils--die cut and stamped with Misti, my new stamping BFF.
After stamping my sentiment on my card front, I added some texture to my card front with the Book Print Impression Plate. I love adding a little interest to the white space on my card with impression plates or embossing folders.
Here is another card I made using the same supplies while they were still out. The paper is from the Pencil Me In Paper pad from PTI.
Now, it's your turn. How are you inspired by WRITE? I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.

Two fabulous cards, Joyce! I love the tri-colored pencils on the first one with all the texture you added to the background! Such a fun CAS design on your 2nd card, too! Thanks so much for your inspiration!

ReplyDeleteDefinitely the perfect set for this challenge! Love both of your wonderful cards!
ReplyDeleteI love both of these, Joyce, especially the sentiment and squiggle on the second card. And the stamps are so perfectly lined up with the die cuts! I may have to seriously consider jumping on the Misti bandwagon...
ReplyDeleteJoyce...love both of your cards! You totally rock those fabulous pencil stamps/dies, just love how they look, so clean and so much fun too.
ReplyDeleteI just ordered the pencils die but not the stamp. Hmmm since Misti did such a good job for you maybe I should have.
ReplyDeleteCUTE cards Joyce, love the colors of those fun pencils!!
ReplyDeleteThese are GREAT!! How cute are those pencils! Love the squiggly 'hi' on the second one too, but would happily have them both, thank you very much!! That MISTI sounds like a 'must have'. Will need to add it to the growing list!!
ReplyDeleteHow cute are these pencils??!! Love how you've used them here! And MISTI...yep, it really is a stampers BFF! Bev

Hi Joyce! Super cute card! I'd really like to have the dies that go with these stamps. Beautiful stamping. I need to do a better job at using my MISTI. What brand ink did you use? I love that blue. :)

ReplyDeleteGreat cards, Joyce! You motivated me to participate in this one last night. Think I might need that stamp set though as your pencil has a whole lot more detail than mine from PS. : )
