CAS-ual Fridays April Release - Day 1

Hi all - this is my first release with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.  The Team will be showcasing the sets all week long!  Stamps/ dies will be available for purchase, 12:01AM Saturday, April 30th.

Today we are featuring Pretty Posies and Posies Fri-Dies;


 I die cut the images after stamping them, and then using a large dauber, I sponged on ink.  This is an easy way to get great color on your images.  I used a white embossed sentiment from the same set!

For this card, I went with a sprayed ink background.  I totally love the vividness of Dylusions Ink Sprays.  So pretty in fact, that I just kept the flower generic with black ink.

Now, pop on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Blog to see more fabulous creations by the Team!  Also, don't forget to leave a comment there for a potential $15 prize [per day!] for 1 random commenter.  Winners will be announced on Saturday, along with the stamps being able to purchase.

In the meantime, Michele has put sets ON SALE [her birthday celebration for you] and YES, my 15% off code works along with the sale price! [Can you say awesome?]




Thanks for stopping by~

When news of you joining the DT appeared, I commented that you would work magic with CAS-ual Fridays products and yes (smiling smugly), I was right! Your cards are *awe-mazing*! Your special style, especially the vibrant colours and charming arrangements, showcases these new florals perfectly! Gorgeous!

You are a great asset for the CAS-UAL FRIDAYS team. I own a few of their sets so I am certainly looking forward to seeing more of your work. And, these two cards are super awesome. I love the bright bold colors with the white. And, then adding white blooms with the colorful background was genius too! Thanks for sharing.

Such pretty cards!! I thank you for posting how you got the rich colors on the second card. I am going to have to experiment with my delusions ink now. I LOVE how you created that background and then left the flowers white like that!!
