A little CAS thanks...

I've got a quick card to share with you--this is a card that I made to give to one of the girls that I work with at church to say thank you for a sweet gift she gave me. :)

For these fabulous challenges~

Well...

Here's the first one~

This card is for these challenges~

Fashionable Stamping: Nautical

Cards for Men: Spring Colors (these colors remind me of tulips...)

I had a lot of fun using different textures on this card.  I stamped my under the seahorses and elements, ran the panel through my dry embossing machine, sponged the "waves", added crackle accents, used Prima crystals as bubbles, and used a gold gel pen to create a sandy bottom.  My sentiment is covered in glossy accents with some Prima crystals anchoring the bottom of it.  TONS of fun.  I really wasn't sure how it would come out, and I am pleasantly surprised!!!

Now onto the second card~

This card is for these challenges~

Mojo Monday: Sketch

Inky Impressions: Create Your Own Embellishment

Paper Pretties: Use 2 or More DP

This one was also really fun to make and I had a blast creating my flower!!!  I used the baby wipe reinker technique to create a stamp pad for my flower images.  I used up some more of the green butterflies I had made for this card, as I do not like to waste.  And some Aurora Borealis Prima crystals for some added sparkle!

So, there ya go!  I also used some more of the green butterflies to create a panel that I'll be using in the near future.  Fancy a peek?!

Here it is~

Also, have you checked out Technique Tuesday?  I'm hoping this will be a great success, but I need YOUR help to make it one!  Won't you join me, please! 

And with that, I say good night, all!  Hope you have a restful Sunday!  Happy stamping!!! :)
