CFC36 - B&W Love

I made this card for the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge this week which was to make a card using black and white only.

To make this one-layer card, I simply masked off the bottom portion of my base with post-it notes and random stamped the flourish from one of the new stamps from Heartfelt Creations' Chateau Gate Collection.  I love this image, so be prepared because you WILL see it again.  I then stamped the large sentiment, added a ribbon and a couple of black gems for the finishing touch.

Here's a card that I didn't get the chance to post over the weekend.  It fits several challenges over at SCS for their July 4 CAS Holiday Challenges.  There is still time to play along.  It also fits in for two other challenges this week - CAS-ual Fridays and Speedy the Cat's Friends.

I used Really Reasonable Ribbon for the stripes along the side of the card and then I embossed three stars using silver embossing powder on Kraft cardstock and then cut them out.  I popped the whole panel up on dimensionals.  A super simple card.

I have a quick post for you today.  It's the last day of camp for my daughter this week so I thought I would take advantage of the quiet and enter the Cas-ual Fridays challenge which is to make a masculine themed card using kraft cardstock.  You can  find all the details on their blog:

Now since it's already made, I think my dear hubby is going to get a "just because" card today.  ;-)

1 Card, 3 Challenges

Happy Monday to you!  It's raining....again but what perfect inspiration for a Sympathy card right?  And it just so happens that is the Make it Monday Challenge this week over at PTI.  This card also qualifies for the challenge at Mark's Finest Papers which is to use tone-on-tone stamping and pop up the sentiment.  Here I used CTMH Bamboo ink on PTI Fine Linen cardstock and then popped up the whole center panel.

The final challenge that this card qualifies for is a new one I discovered a couple weeks ago but haven't had the time to play.  It's a fairly new challenge blog with an awesome Design Team and wonderful inspiration called CAS-ual Fridays.  This week's challenge was to use bling on a CAS card.  I used adhesive backed pearls from CTMH and also added a little sparkle to the leaves using my favorite Sakura clear glitter pen.

Be sure to also check out this Make it Monday blog where each week you can upload any of your cards.  No challenge involved.

Have a wonderful day!
