Embrace Life

 Hello friends ... welcome back to my blog.

Today I've created a card for the Addicted to CAS challenge #303 - Garden  (ends 3/20).
I used to make cards with a lot of layers because the CAS design style intimidated me.  In fact, I even joined a CAS design team to help me get more comfortable with this style.  Now I find myself making as many CAS as Layered cards primarily due to the cost of postage these day!  UGH ... out of control!!

Anyways ... here's what I came with for their 'garden' theme.

 

 I have several colors of roses in my garden so when I spotted the sheet of the Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby) rose stickers ( Real Spring Flowers #700633) hanging on the pegboard I immediately knew what I wanted to do.

    

 To showcase my roses I die cut the largest die in the Paper Rose (#16679) Stitched Rectangle Frames die set to create a frame.  This is one of my favorite (go to) frame die sets.   The sentiment is from an old Stampin' Up wood block stamp set and the butterflies come from a Scrapbook.com clear stamp set.  White Nuvo Crystal Drops were used for added dimension.

 


 Challenges to share in:

Beautiful Blossoms Challenge #38 - Anything Florals w/optional mood board (3/15) 
Classic Design Feb/March Challenge - ATG w/optional blooms or butterflies  (3/12)
Daisy Chain Challenge #105 - Flowers (3/28)

 Well, that's it for me today.  I'm headed out early . . . it's hair cut & pedicure day!  YAY!!  
Plus lunch with my daughter and a childhood friend!
Going to be a GREAT DAY!!!

 Again, thanks so much for stopping by!!

As always . . .
