Hi and welcome to this week's CAS-ual Fridays Challenge! This week it's time to welcome Fall in clean and simple style, so it would be fantastic if you joined us with a CAS creation inspired by Fall! You can be inspired by colors, textures, Thanksgiving... lots of choices, really!
Our sponsor for this week is Great Impressions Stamps, and they are generously giving a $25 gift certificate to the winner. You can check their awesome designs here. They are so cute! Thanks, Great Impressions!
Here's my Thanksgiving card.
I used my favorite debossing plate to make the card base and inked the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink. To make the focal panel, I started by stamping the leaves with two different inks on a cardstock rectangle. Then I used an Xacto and a ruler to trim it partially, and scissors to cut out part of the leaves so they would hang off the pannel.
I hope you'll play with us this week and don't forget there's a daily dose of inspiration in the CAS-ual Fridays Facebook page, along with the wonderful creations the Girl Fridays have for you on the Challenge blog.
Thanks so much for visiting and have an awesome weekend!
Supplies: Cardstock: Canson; Stamps: PTI; Ink: (Harvest, Fig) Fresh Ink, (Antique Linen) Distress Ink; Debossing plate: (woodgrain) PTI; Twine: May Arts.
