CASology #112

Have you ever made a card that just makes you smile to look at it?  My card for CASology today does just that for me.  I don't know why.  It doesn't have any cute animals on it or smiley faces.  But it does have three cute elements.  Here.  Check it out.


Aren't those topiaries just the cutest thing you've even seen.  Well, maybe not "ever" but at least on this blog. ;)  I wish the photo showed them in a better light.  What really makes them cute to me is the 3D effect.


This die by PTI actually cuts the little leaves so you can pull them out.  See what I mean?  So cute I can hardly stand it.  I cut the base of the topiary in kraft cardstock and stamped the pot in Rich Cocoa, then cut a secondary tree portion in dark green and cut it apart to back the leafy section and popped them up over the kraft.  The sentiment from MFT is stamped in HA Soft Brown.  If only I'd picked a three word sentiment, I would have had three topiaries, each with three parts, and three words.  So scratch that last part.


Thanks for stopping by.  I love reading your comments so I hope you leave one.

These topiary dies look fantastic, Bobby! Love the way the little leaves lift up :) A really fun interpretation of the CASology challenge.

Oh, I just love this card, Bobby. It is just what I wanted to do when I bought this set, but then I completely forgot about it (too much shopping and not enough brain power here). Love that 3-d effect, your three pots and three leafy clusters on each. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.
