Hey there! Happy Friday! Don't you think a great challenge is just the best way to start the weekend? Because we've got a very fun one for you this week at CAS-ual Fridays...
Take those neglected punches or your favorite dies out and make a CAS card! Because you can win a free stamp set from this week's sponsor, which happens to be one of my favorite brands ever:
Kelly Marie is the sweetest person and Lawn Fawn makes the cutest stamps ever, with a superb photopolymer quality too.
And this is what I made with the beautiful Flutter by set:
The blooms were stamped and heat embossed in a super cool red vellum paper I found in my local paper store and the leaves die is from WPlus9. I stamped the bloom 3 times and then selectively cut it to end up with three different sized flowers. I really love versatile stamps! Here's a closer take so you can see how cool that vellum looks.
Oh, and Lawn Fawn also makes patterned paper now. Their first collection is called On the bright side and it's adorable. I used some of it to cover the front of my card. I can't have enough of those subtle chevrons!
Ok, so that's it from me today. Now go get crafty with your punches and dies!
Thanks for visiting :)
Supplies: Cardstock: Canson, DCWV; Stamps and patterned paper: Lawn Fawn; Ink: Versamagic, Versafine; Embossing powder: Ranger; Die: WPlus9; Other: Red vellum.
I'm totally in love with this card, Lorena! Absolutely gorgeous! Those flowers are beautiful, and the grey background is perfect!

You created an amazing card! I love the grey and white background with the chevron pattern. It makes the red of the flowers pop!

Stunning Lorena! When I first saw this I thought you'd coloured the flowers with markers or ink but wow vellum - really packs a colourful punch :)

Lorena - this is beautiful! I never would've guessed that that was red vellum! It's so vibrant and striking against that card! I also love how you made 3 different size flowers from 1 stamp...awesome!
