CAS Pixie Post




I was in the mood to create a CAS card, so I could let these beautiful papers be highlighted. I used the Fall to Layout sketch and will enter this into the Verve Fan Hop - deadline tomorrow at noon. I had such a fun day shopping with my good friend, Teresa, today! I laughed until tears ran down my face...the 2 hour trip seemed like 20 minutes with so much to talk about and share! The papers and lace were some of the fun new supplies I found - lace at Hobby Lobby...papers at Scrapdoodles. The flower was stamped using Early Espresso ink, cut out and popped with foam dots.
STAMPS: Dream Big (Verve) - sentiment; One Person (Verve) - flower
PAPER: Pixie Post by Graphic 45; Stella & Rose "Hazel" paper by My Mind's Eye (flower); Stella & Rose Gertie "You & Me" paper by My Mind's Eye (leaves).
INK: Early Espresso
ACCESSORIES: Corner chomper, Brad, Lace, Chocolate satin ribbon, Die-namic by MFT.
