LOVE YOU!

Hi peeps, it's almost Valentine's Day - a very good reason to enter our romantic challenge at ATCAS!

Your Host this fortnight is the very talented Jaydee, and she has chosen this Code Word ........

The DT have created some fabulous cards for your inspiration, so if you have the time, they would love you to pop over and leave them some love too!

Here is my DT card ~

For the banner, I used my new SU Sale-A-Bration Banner Punch,which I LOVE! (see more about it HERE),  some very old alphabet stamps, a hand-drawn "washing line", and a small heart punch.

The aperture was cut with a circle punch on the white and the red layers.

The "You" is part of a hAnglar & stAnglar "For You" stamp.

Our Sponsor this fortnight is the lovely Kathryne of StampArt Design, and our CAS Perfectionist will receive 5 of Kathryne's beautiful digi images.

Look forward to seeing your Love-themed creations!

I am entering my card into the following challenges -

Happy Crafting~

ONE LAYER ONLY !

Hello lovely friends and bloggers - we have a fab. challenge for you at 
Addicted to CAS which you are going to love!! Our brilliant leader - Kylie, chose the code-word, and here it is ....!

We would like you to use just one card layer. If you are using a digi image, it must be printed directly onto the card.  As always, the design should be Clean and Simple, with lots of empty space!  

I printed the Poppy Oval image (from DigiDarla Designs) directly onto white card, then I used Copics to colour the image and chalks for the sky. 
(A pre-coloured option of the Poppy Oval is also available).
The sentiment was created with the SU Best Dad Ever set (thinking of), and a hAnglar and stAnglar "For You" stamp (You)! 
************

Our fabulous Sponsor this fortnight is DigiDarla Designs, and the prize

 for our CAS Perfectionist is 5 images of the winner's choice.
So ladies and gents - get your thinking caps on - can't wait to see your fabulous One Layer creations!

Happy Crafting ~
