So, here are my final two CAS cards...
The first card was made using a template and Distress Ink. Then I got busy with a Hero Arts script stamp to create some depth. The sentiment is from the Papertrey Ink set that I've been using all week. I have to be honest and admit that I've lost the packaging from the dandelion stamp - but isn't it a beauty!
The second card was created using a butterfly shape from a pack of 10 plastic templates that were given away by Paper Craft Inspirations years and years ago. I found the templates in my stash and had a eureka moment. Because the templates are plastic they're perfect for using again and again, and can be rinsed under the tap afterwards. I couldn't resist adding a little bling as a finishing touch. This card was so quick and easy to make that it's real production line stuff, and could be used for multiple-makes such as wedding or party invitations.
So thanks for sharing this little CAS journey with me. Sometimes a change of creative direction can be very refreshing and satisfying - so why not give it a go? It certainly beats watching the rain!
Happy crafting everyone!
