CAS-ology and Happy Retirement



I have a sweet and fruity card for this week's CASology #3 challenge.  I used UTEE on these strawberries, going over them a couple of times to get them thick and glossy.  They really look scrumptious in person.

Sweet Strawberry


A friend from tennis is retiring after many years as a flight attendant.  I was inspired by this card by Christina, to use the cute little airplane from Flying By for her retirement card.

  11. Hi Joyce! I love the strawberries- they are so striking against the embossed background (which is also quite beautiful). Is UTEE like diamond glaze? I bet they look awesome.

  15. Joyce, you have been a busy bee with your card making. Those berries look good enough to eat, so bright and colorful and on that embossed background, so perfect...looks like those little green plastic baskets you get strawberries in. Your plane card is just as adorable and just too cute with those clouds!
