I have leaned towards CAS cards for a long time now - there's something about creating something with minimum embellishments that I like!
Inspired by Pinterest, I inked a background using Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar and Hickory Smoke.
I don't have many branch stamps - something I intend to rectify as soon as I can! 😉😉 So I used an Inkylicious branches stamp and did some primary and secondary stamping in Black and Smokey Grey.
Then stamped again and heat embossed in white.
I thought the bottom of the card looked a little bare so took the edge of a crackle stamp, inked it with smokey grey and secondary stamped.
The sentiment is from another Inkylicious set.
This didn't take me long so will likely make a few more as no doubt I will be panicking near Christmas and needing some quick cards!
I am about to travel down one of my "favorite" 😟😟 motorways as I have 2 Presentations to attend over this weekend. Keeping fingers crossed that the strength of this wind drops a little and I have an untroubled journey.
Thanks for looking.
Hope you all are safe and sound wherever you are. x
