Casual Elegance



Hey there!  I have a couple cards to share today for the new CAS-ual Fridays release!  Today's set is called Casual Elegance and it is full of amazing sentiments and gorgeous leaves.

Here is my first card...

For this first card, I stamped everything in PTI's Fresh Snow ink and the colored in the petals and leaves with Copics.  I ran it through with the Linen impression plate for some texture and then added in some pearls to finish it off.

One more card...

I embossed the leaves in white embossing powder and then added in some distress inks.  I added the panel to the white card front and then popped that up with foam tape.  A little twine and a fun sentiment and that's it!

I know there is much more to see over at the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog.  Stop over at see what the other girls have cooked up for today!

Thanks for coming by!

    Both of these are beautiful, but that shading on the second one really catches the eye.
