Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you! And Happy St Patrick's Day! I don't usually celebrate this day, unless the grand kids are over and they want to try to catch the Leprechaun. We almost got him last year! Caught him by his back pocket and to save himself, he ripped it off and left the coins behind.
Are you ready for this week's challenge? I'm the hostess and we are looking for CAS, as in Clean And Simple. Here's my card:
Like I mentioned earlier, I don't usually celebrate and I definitely don't make cards for this holiday but the next alphabetical stamp set in my retired pile had the sentiment and four leaf clover in it. So how could I ignore that gentle nudge from the universe?
I also created this card following CAS Colours & Sketches. I'm too late to enter their gallery but it's still a great challenge to play along with and deserve a mention.
One: I have two grand sons. They both require a card, to be fair! Two: This was my original card for today's Krafty Chicks Challenge and Throwback Thursday combo, just without the gold. And I didn't like it. It wasn't coming along as I envisioned it in my head. So I tossed it aside. Made the other card really CAS with no added layers and then I found my Gold marker. I pulled back the original, coloured in LUCK and the stars, added a little gold bling and now I'm happy again!
Supplies I used:
- Amazing Life stamp set: retired
- Curvy Christmas stamp set: retired
- Shaded Spruce ink pad: 147088
- Gold Marker: retired
- Soft Sea Foam card stock: 146988
- Shaded Spruce card stock: 146981
- Metallic Pearls: 146282
- Stampin' Dimensionals: 104430
I like to keep the inside of the card and the envelope just as CAS, just a little ink will do this time.
