Not as CAS...

Hello!  Ready for some more cards?  These ones are not so CAS (one is kinda, but not really) but were equally fun to make!  I've gotta get to some real life things soon, so I'll make this quick!  I'm sorry for this, but there are three cards in this post...

First card~

For these fabulous challenges~

(Inspired by the vase of roses and the Victorian feel.)

(I water colored my image.) 

(Inspired by the colors and the simplicity of the photo.)

This card was really fun to make.  I made a card front using a free digi image found HERE and then water colored it.  I added some glitter glue, a sentiment from PTI's "Simply Jane" stamp set, and then some bits of bling.  I LOVE IT.  I think this will be one of those cards that I have a hard time giving away.  I actually might frame it and put it somewhere in my home.  Let's keep going!!!

Second card~

I also used an old sketch from Sketchbook Saturdays~

This card was inspired by the book/movie "Little Dorrit" by Charles Dickens.  There is a scene in the most recent film adaptation where a room has this luscious red and black wallpaper with a brocade pattern.  Hence my brocade embossing.  The sentiment is also about the two main characters in the movie--Amy Dorrit and Arthur Clennam.  They are so fantastic!!!  You should check this book/movie out--it's fabulous!  I also used punches on this card, since it's the dessert option at Dynamic Duos.  I used a border punch and my main image is made from two punches, plus the red punched leaves!!!

Third & last card~

(I've used a brand new to me digi from ADFD!)


This card uses a brand new to me digi from ADFD!  I masked off the image in order to get script only on the background of the image and then colored the peacock, added glitter and pearls, and put it on the card!  There is also script on my patterned paper and lots of circles throughout this card!  Here is a TIP: when you print off a page of digis onto cardstock, print another copy of it onto plain computer printing paper in case you decide you want to use masks later.  You can keep these in a file folder for later use!

That's it.  Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you're having a fabulous day and I will see you soon!  Happy stamping! :)

Might be my last post for a bit...

...excluding DT posts, of course!  I have family coming into town this weekend and they will be staying for a week, so I may be quite silent here except the scheduled DT posts I have!  Okay, I have a card to show you--I'm really excited about it!  This is the first time I've tried a cascading card, so please be gentle in your critique...oh, and you may or may not see this next month at Technique TuesdayAlso, don't forget I have blog candy!

Here it is~

So, what do you think?  I was quite impressed with it as it is my first effort at this!  I'm sure I'll look back at this card and realize how it could be improved, but right now I am content with it!  AND, I finally used my Apothecary Art set--so bonus! ;)  I hope you like what you see, and I hope you take the time to enter these fabulous challenges--happy stamping and hope to see you soon, friends! :)
