Second post for today. If you're looking for my ATCAS Challenge card, please click HERE. :)
Hi everyone. This is another reminder for the Happy Little Stampers May CAS Challenge - Die-cuts / Punches.
Today's card is a scene created with die-cuts. From the white picket fence, to the pink and yellow flowers, the clouds and that fun stitched sun ... this cute little garden is all die-cuts. The only stamping is the sentiment. :) By layering die-cuts and adding sponging around the edges, you can create lots of depth and dimension.
I sent this to a friend a while ago. She received it and sent me a note to say that it brightened her and her hubby's day. :) Hugs to you both, Brenda! :)
Bonnie is our Guest Designer this month, so check out the challenge to see her latest die-cut card. I know you'll LOVE it!
I hope I've inspired you to play along with our fun challenge. Make a CAS card using die-cuts and / or punches, and add your link to the gallery. I'll be back next week with a different way to use die-cuts on your cards.
I'm also going to enter this (my third entry) into Virginia's View #14 - Layers and Dimension Challenge. The challenge is running longer than usual and is open until May 18.

Love this card for many reasons but I so appreciate your artistic ability in designing a balanced layout. I do fault myself for being so LITERAL as to never think of not having the fence go all the way across the card, LOL! I find so much that I think is beautiful in other's artwork but I haven't developed that comfort zone yet. I don't comment often but am a constant lurker and admirer. I don't blog, and I make and send cards to family and friends only, so I'm always looking for cards to CASE (I'm not very original, either). I do appreciate the generosity of cardmakers on the 'net!
What a sweet, creative and fun springtime die cut scene. Love it all Loll. TFS
This beautiful card and scene sure did brighten our day Loll!!! I still go up to it and just touch and feel and look it up one side and down the other. lol I love this cute little scene, so it will be hanging up for a long time to come. lol I'm a sucker like that, I hate to take down pretty cards, what can I say they make me happy! Big hugs, Brenda
Love this sweet scene! Love that flower lined fence and the bright sunshine!
What a wonderful card Loll! You have created a wonderful summer scene with nothing but die cuts, pure genius! Love the little clouds and those flowers are so sweet, must have been hard to work with though! Fabulous! hugs :)
Such a charming garden scene, Loll! I love the mini blooms alongside the fence and how you sponged and shaped the elements on this card...so sweet!
Love this! your flowers look so pretty against the white picket fence Loll!
All these elements have been put together so prettily Loll and make a beautiful summery scene. x
Darling card, Loll. It's amazing what you can create with just die cuts.
So cute! I love those tiny little flowers along the fence :)
What a sweet scene, Loll ... full of spring time colour and hope ... just lovely for Brenda and Dwayne! Anita :)
