Here's the challenge ...
I opted for "Use a Die". This was an easy and fun card to make. I do love making CAS cards. :)
I adore this Heart of Flowers die from Simon Says Stamp. I die-cut my card front and also a piece from my stash, (DOX inks smooshed on photo paper). I inlaid the smooshed pieces into the card front. To finish, the sentiment (Simple Sentiments - Lawn Fawn) was white heat embossed onto a metallic copper banner.
I hope you'll take some time to check out the challenge blog to see the beautiful flower cards from our amazing Designers, as well as our wonderful Guest Designer, Therese. Hope to see you in the gallery!

Gorgeous smooshed Distress Oxide Inks on photo paper for your beautiful die cut and inlaid heart image, Lolly. I have this die too after being inspired by one of your past CAS beauties. You have me inspired to get it out again:-) TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteThe colours of the DOX inks look so pretty Loll and your CAS card is absolutely beautiful x....Sending hugs x.
ReplyDeleteThis is so impressive with the inlaid inks. The shine from the sentiment strip is so pretty and that is a fun die.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun CAS card Loll, a fun die! I love the flowers that make the heart shape and I love the inky background you cut it out in. Love the sentiment right across it too. Hugs, Brenda

ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors, Loll. The card is great. I have this die and just recently used it for a friend who just had their 50th wedding anniversary. I gold embossed it. It's a fun die. [Bunny]

Gorgeous heart bloom, Loll! The ink color combo is your favorite, isn't it? The inlaid flowers beautifully pop against white background. The shiny metallic copper sentiment strip matches the shiny surface of photo paper too.

The colors, the shine, the inlaid flowers. What a great combination for a sensational CAS card, Loll. And then there's the little copper strip. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea to use inlaid die cutting for this gorgeous design Loll!

ReplyDeleteOooh so pretty! I thought it was AI at first...Now there's another thing I've learnt
ReplyDeleteLoll, when I looked at this at first I was sure it was alcohol inks and now to realise its the distress oxides on photo paper, wow stunning. Love it and this die cut heart. xx
