ASM - CAS .....

.... Hello, good evening.  It's time for our very popular CAS challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More!  Our sponsor this week is Sweet Pea Stamps and I've used a digital image from one of their artists - Concetta Kilmer.  The winner of this challenge will get 4 digis from their store!  The rules for clean, simple cards is to have clean, crisp lines, minimal embellishments and lots of 'white' space (can be coloured).  And I have to own up that I forgot it was a CAS challenge when I made my card (sorry guys!!).  Although, it is still quite clean and simple:

Stamps: Sweet Pea Stamps - Concetta Kilmer's Cupcake Cutie; CAS-ual Friday Stamps - Whole Shebang
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Lost Lagoon, Pistachio Pudding
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU DP - Sahara Sand; SU Card - Sahara Sand, Copic Markers; Wink of Stella - Clear

I've used the colours from The Paper Players - PP#244, I love them - they would work equally well for a masculine style card.  I printed the image on white card, coloured it with Copic markers and used a scalpel to cut it out.  I used my clear Wink of Stella brush to add sparkle to her wing, hair band, icing and rose.  I got some new stamps from CAS-ual Friday stamps and I think this bold birthday greeting works perfectly with the image - they both have attitude!  On the inside I cut a mat layer of kraft card and stamped one of the co-ordinating greetings - such fun!!

I've taken a close up of the image so that you can see the sparkle.  The Wink of Stella brushes give a wonderful sparkle, but it's so tough taking a photo of it!!

Don't forget to visit the blog and check out the inspiration cards from the rest of the team.  Enjoy!!
