I have made a couple of cards and hoping that I will be able to link the other one up CAS Mix Up February Challenge as well as this one (if I ever finish it that is!)
I am always inspired by stuff seen on Pinterest and I suppose this one came from there too!
The challenge was to use corrugated card, with stamping and your choice of other techniques - I went overboard I think as I ended up using as 'my choice' - Fussy cutting, heat embossing, Distress Inks, splatter and vellum!
This was quite quick to do and used up some odd scraps of Aqua and Black card along with a snippet of vellum.
The card was ran through the 'crimper' and just torn. Before fixing I lightly splattered some Peacock Feathers DI onto the white panel.
The butterfly was heat embossed in white, fussy cut and smooshed through the craft mat where I'd put the DI!
A scrap of ribbon, a sentiment stamped onto the tiniest piece of aqau card and a couple of gems to finish.
I am beginning to panic a little as I appear to have completely abandoned all the fussy and fancy stuff just lately.
I don't know whether it is because I always seem to not have a lot of time so am opting for clean and simple cards or because I am finding that CAS has become my 'thing'. Although as always I wonder if my CAS is well just too - CAS!!
I am not giving up hope that I will once again delve back into the stitching, distressing, generally throw everything on a card type of make - after all whatever will I do with all this stuff if I do????
Thanks for looking!
Hope your day has been good whatever you've been doing! x

Lovely CAS card Viv....perfect and I like your colour choice and your beautiful butterfly. You sound just like me regarding the CAS cards and having a load of stuff to do the smancy things...craft room full!!...but ae CAS cards really any quicker?.....more thinking time for me. Anyway I figure, do what pleases you at the time, after all it's hobby and we shouldn't feel pressured. Still not got to the alchol......inks (what else..lol)
Love the design of your girgeous card Viv
