I combined a few challenges to make a {fairly} simple card last night: the Paper Players challenge (a CAS card with polka dots), the Dynamic Duos colour challenge, and this week's Deconstructed Sketch.
Now I don't really do CAS very well... When I try it just looks half-finished (when others do it, it looks amazing!), so this one was a little out of my comfort zone... I'm not even sure this qualifies as CAS but I did make it in around 1/2 an hour which is about as CAS as it gets for me!!
I chose a polka dot tea cup for my focal image, stamped in Daffodil Delight and glazed with Crystal Effects. I also used the polka dot embossing folder for the white strip across the card. The background paper is from the Flirtatious dsp pack (which kinda looks like big fancy polka dots to me!).
Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Tea Shoppe
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Stazon
Paper: Flirtatious dsp, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Basic Grey
Tools: Perfect Pennants die, word window punch, modern label punch, circles #2 die
Accessories: Daffodil Delight brads, crystal effects
Thanks for stopping by!
