CAS Colours and Sketches 267

Just a quick post to squeak in under the wire at CAS Colours and Sketches. Here's their great little sketch, which is delightfully open to interpretation.


This is a quick, simple and masculine card. Masculine cards are something that I, like many crafters, struggle with. The bold sentiment is art deco in style and works well with the Swirly Frames set that I got as a prize at On Stage last week. Watch out for it in the forthcoming annual catalogue on June 1.


Black embossing on the frame and the sentiment add a bit of gloss that ties in nicely with the glimmery stars.


The glimmer stars were cut from two framelit sets: Mini-Treat Bag and Circle Flip Card (retired). They're not the obvious place to find stars but both sets have great dies for embellishments of different sizes and shapes.

  4. This is AWESOME! I totally skated by that sentiment set (well, not totally...the "at least you're still pretty" sentiment threw me off a bit so I dissed the rest of the set!) but I am really loving this particular sentiment...I think it's the font! It does work perfectly with that frame...great for masculine cards! You rocked it..I predict a winner for this challenge!
