CAS

Good evening all!

I hope you have had a great day. I have been working on a few DT projects lately so my posts are few and far between but i do have a little inspiration for you tonight.


  I actually left this card blank simply because i couldn't decide what i wanted to put on it! Now, it can be used for a birthday, thank you, just because, thinking of you, anything! The papers are from We R Memory Keepers Cotton Tail paper pack and Me to You Spring Chic paper pack. The little ribbon sticker is by Kioshi. I made the flower using part of a Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die, some punched scalloped circles, and a button. The heart border is an EK Success border punch. The edges of the flower and leaves were distressed with walnut stain distress ink. The leaves were made using a Hero Arts flower stamp set.
