STAMPlorations CAS Challenge

Today is my last post as guest designer for the STAMPlorations CAS challenge.  I have enjoyed my three-month stint on the team.   It's time for the mid-month reminder of this month's challenge -- Anything Goes with the optional color twist of Sky Blue.

My card uses the STAMPlorations set, Smile.  I stamped the calla lilies at an angle and then masked them with a post-it note.  After sponging some Ranger Distress Tumbled Glass around the lilies, I removed the mask and colored the flowers and leaves -- then added a few sequins.  I may eventually add a sentiment.

I hope you'll stop over at the STAMPlorations blog and maybe even enter a card in the CAS challenge.  There are prizes to be won!

STAMPlorations CAS Challenge - Silver or Gray

Today marks my first post as a guest designer for the STAMPlorations CAS challenge team.  I have not always been drawn to CAS cards but recently have become a big fan.  I do love the clean lines and lots of white space of CAS stamping.    The January challenge is Anything Goes: with an optional color choice of Silver or Gray.

For my card today, I used a stamp set called Smile.

If you'd like to play along with this month's challenge, check out the STAMPlorations CAS blog and link up your card at the end.  There are prizes!  $10 gift certificate for the winner and $5 gift certificate for the top picks.
