A Few Challenges

Today I decided for a couple of CAS sketches.  [I think I am addicted to CAS]

Paper Player Arts had a super fun sketch.  Margaret does so well at these!

I am also entering this into the Fusion Challenge #2 since the flowers inspired me.  As much as I enjoy rolled flowers, I don't do this very often because [unfortunately] they do.not.mail worth a darn.  However, I will be hand delivering this one - in a box. :)










I used Hero Arts, Good Friends.







I am also playing in CAS(E) this sketch - another quite fabulous sketch~

I used Hero Arts for this card also, Essential Messages.  The image is from Gina K Designs, Elegant Florals.









Another fun and successful day!



Thanks for stopping by~

Fabulous card with those rolled flowers! They were worth it. Love the black and white so elegant. Thanks for joining us at the Pals Paper Arts this week! I like your other card too! :)

I love both cards, Vicki! The first one is so elegant with the DP and the rolled flowers, and the second is so balanced and clean (plus I love the burlap/canvas strip!) -- and can be given to either male or female recipient :o)

Marisa said...

Classy and elegant first card and love the burlap to go with the natural theme on the second.

Becky said...

Both are beautiful. Love that first one, with the flowers, very elegant with the black.

Cathy Weber said...

Oh yes...I can see how those pretty rolled flowers would definitely make this a "hand it to you" kind of card...so worth it because they add such dimension to your card.

Gorgeous cards! And yes, definitely not something for the mail, but also a good excuse for seeing someone in person : ) Thanks so much for joining the Fusion Challenge!

Great cards. I am really embracing the CAS look more these days. All that space used to make me twitch. You've done well putting things together to fill the space but not overly fill it. I'm with you on the rolled flowers, fun to make, beautiful on a card, impossible to mail.
