Hello. A CAS card to share today – which actually took a little longer to create than I initially thought it would:


I used a ragged looking heart die from the Concord & 9th ‘Geode’ die set – I have a few other heart dies but this jut spoke – me……..slightly uneven, and slightly ragged-looking.
Once the position on the rectangular panel was determined and then die-cut, I placed an alcohol ink background panel behind the opening, and then stamped the sentiment.
This was then layered onto a white card base using 3D foam.
Seems quite simple – but the position of the heart, the size of the alcohol ink panel – that took a few decisions and changes of decisions – goodness knows why – but it did…….maybe the hardest decisions on a CAS card is placement – it is for me, anyway.
A simple heartfelt thanks is what the message is with this card – another one for noteworthy friends for helping me the past few weeks…….
I shall be entering the following challenges:
Addicted to CAS – CAS ‘Hearts’
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge – Love is in the air
CASology – Affection
Allsorts Challenge – CAS

Love the inky, slightly imperfect heart! Thanks for playing along with us at CASology!

Totally get the feeling, I can move dies around the space for a loooong time before I decide 🙂
