CASology Week 139: Style

Hello and happy Tuesday.  Holy cow did you guys blow me away with your gorgeous floral cards for last week's cue word.  It's time for another CASology challenge.  Our cue word this week is STYLE.

Lots of different ways to go with this cue word.  I can't wait to see how you are inspired by STYLE.

I pulled out an old CSS set called Just My Style, and stamped a rainbow background on my card front.  The pattern is not too busy because all the purses are line drawings.  I think it would be fun to have lots of different purses in all these rainbow colors.

I used the sketch at Retrosketches #157 for my inspiration card this week.

I hope you will play along this week and show us how you are inspired by the word STYLE.  Just remember to please keep your card Clean and Simple.

Purses and Friends: Red

I have a card for this week's CAS-ual Friday's challenge to add color to your stamped image. Because this week's sponsor is Clear and Simple Stamps, I decided to use my favorite (and only) CSS set to CASE a card I had previously made and sent to a friend.  I have been meaning to make more of this particular card, because it is a favorite of mine. Click here for my next post, which shows the same card in purple.

Here it is in red:

I created a stamped background using one of the stamps, and then randomly colored in parts using red Copic (R29).  I love the fact that this stamp set has a matching set of dies.  It made cutting that purse trio a breeze.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Clear and Simple Stamps Just My Style
Paper:  SU Real Red, PTI White, True Black
Other:  CSS Just My Style dies, PTI Double Ended Banner Die, Nestie Circle, Copic Marker, Rhinestone

The Right Shoes

A good friend of mine has a birthday coming up.  She is super glamorous, gorgeous and sophisticated, and is into shoes--very high heeled shoes.  We are spending her birthday together getting pampered at the spa at La Costa next week, and I made her this card:

Here is a peek at the inside:

This was a fun card to make, because I pulled stuff from all over my craft room.  Also, because I wasn't playing along with any challenges, I had to think of everything myself(!).


Supplies Used:
Stamps:  CSS Just My Style, PTI Green Thumb, Botanical Silhouettes & Christmas Labels, IO Houndstooth CAC
Paper:  PTI White, True Black & Kraft, SU Real Red
Other:  PTI Dies:  Mat Stack #1, XL Rickrack, Christmas Labels, CSS Just My Style Die, SU Houndstooth Embossing Folder
