Good morning friends!
One would think that CAS cards would be ready in couple of minutes but I have this habit of sitting by my desk and staring at my cards for hours, thinking if I should do something more or not... Here are two cards from this morning now, declared ready. :) My first card is inspired by a sketch at CASE this Sketch, I ended up pretty far away from the sketch though... It's also for CAS-ual Fridays where the theme is to use chipboard. I used a chipboard flower tinted with Stardust mists and sprayed some mists on my card base too. I've never tried using the sprays in this way before and am loving the look! The text is from Finnstamper and reflects my creative morning nicely. :)
The second card is for Less Is More where the theme is to use a frame of some kind. I decided to use a dry embossed card as my frame (thanks to friends over at Finnish site Hooked On Cards I have some dry embossed cards now, I'm loving them!) by simply cutting a circle out of it with my Fiskars Shape Cutter. I stamped the flower image directly to my card base -the image is a freebie stamp that came with a crafting magazine, I think it works well in CAS designs- and added a couple of rhinestones for bling. :)
So, there they were! I hope you liked my cards, I'm pretty happy with both of them. Have a great week and see you soon again!
Upeita kortteja! Juu-u, mitä yksinkertaisempi kortti, sitä kauemmin sen tekemiseen menee, siltä ainakin minusta tuntuu. Tosin mä nyt saan tuhrattua aikaa korttiin kuin korttiin, en mikään maailman nopein ole... ;D
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Nonni :-)both of them are fabulous ! I love how you framed the LIM one with the embossed panel :-)

These are absolutely lovely. The colors are awesome and I love the misting and that chipboard flower. Wow! So happy you joined us at CAS(E) this Sketch!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous - love the rich, shimmery colour on the flower and the splattered background! Thanks so much for playing along with CAS(E) This Sketch this week!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet card, Nonni. The embossing and little flowers are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteKauniit ja tyylikkäät kortit :)
ReplyDeleteTwo very pretty cards ... and so unique! Love the distressing of the splatters from the misting on the first card ... and the chipboard flower is a gorgeous color. The second card is so spring-like ... happy and cheerful. CAS cards take time ... just like any other style of card ... I usually take a couple of hours or more for each one I make. Loll xx
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards Nonni, love the colour choice and I know how you feel, sitting in front of a blank card can be quite daunting:)
