Sending Hugs

Hello, everyone!  It's time for a new challenge from the Creative Moments Challenge blog.  The theme is: CAS.  I am using an image from our fabulous sponsor: Sheepski Designs.

 Here is my card:

It's interesting how your style evolves and grows as you spend more time crafting in any form.  I am not a fussy card maker, but CAS cards used to be extremely hard for me to pull off well.  My style falls more into a classic, somewhat embellished style with lots of layers.  BUT, I have worked to understand the CAS style and I think I am getting pretty good at it.  I printed this beautiful image out in a large size so it could really be the star of the show.  I die cut the panel using a stitched rectangle die.  After I colored up the image, I add a simple sentiment and RESISTED the urge to add any embellishments at all.

You have all month to play along.  So, get inky and link up your creation; I can't wait to see what you create!

Supplies:

Stamps: Sheepski Designs "Jos Daffodils"

Dies: My Favorite Things "Blueprints 12" stitched rectangle
