The prize for our CAS Perfectionist is a $20 Gift Voucher to spend in the fabulous Nicecrane Designs online store.

My DT card ~ closed and open! 

Recipe:-
I removed a narrow panel from the front of my card, and replaced it with a strip of acetate.
A strip of grey and white spotty paper (from Pink Petticoat)
was attached to the back panel inside the card.
The Memory Box Gwyneth Flourish was adhered to the card only, so there was no glue on the acetate.

WET WET WET at ADDICTED TO CAS!

Hi crafty bloggers - it's great to see you here!

We have another fabulous challenge for you at Addicted to CAS

The Code Word has been chosen by the very talented Loll, and here it is....

Here is my DT card - rainwater and umbrellas were the first things to spring to mind when I saw the Code Word (probably something to do with the UK weather)! 

I designed a template for the umbrella with a Nestie circle die, a small circle punch, and hand-drawn curved handle. 
I then paper-pieced with Tilda Flower Garden papers, and used a cocktail stick for the pole.
The raindrops are "Dew Drops" I bought ages ago - almost forgot I had them!!
Embossed wavy "water" and computer-generated sentiment to finish.
**********
Look forward to seeing your watery creations - you have two weeks to enter, and our CAS perfectionist will win an amazing $15 gift voucher from our wonderful Sponsor Cassie, to spend at Clearly Digi Stamps .

Have a happy weekend everyone.

IT COULD BE A BIRD, IT COULD BE A PLANE, AT ATCAS!

Hello peeps - it's time for another fabulous challenge at Addicted to Clean and Simple, and the code word this time has been chosen by the lovely Karen. The Code Word is ................

Lots of scope with this one - can't wait to see what you lovely crafters come up with! 
(Please note - this challenge is open for ONE WEEK, rather than the usual two).

**************
For my DT card I have used one of the fabulous images which our Sponsor generously gave us to work with. The image is so beautifully shaded, all it requires is a little colour. 
I used Distress Inks, layered it onto black cardstock, added a few tiny birdies in flight (a Crafty Individuals stamp), created a sentiment on the 'puter, and made the banner. 

Our generous sponsor is Delicious Doodles  who are offering 4 digi images for the winner. Just click the link above, to take you over there for a peek at their awesome images.
