Craft Your Days Away and Paperplay Challenges


The challenge this week at Craft Your Days Away was Anything Goes (my favorite) and Paperplay Challenges was CAS (my favorite style) so I had fun with this card. The side is a new Tim Holtz border diecut- love the look over the white paper. The background is embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder (love his stuff:) I cut and embossed the oval with my nesties and while the oval was still on, sponged the blue. Then stamped a beautiful single tree from a rented set from Raisin Boat and my CAS card was done.

Stamping smiles (and welcome to my Feline Playful friends!),

    Beautiful! It may be clean and simple but it's just so very elegant too!
