It's a truly grotty morning. What has happened to the April showers??? It's more like the April monsoon season!
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!
