CASology #180

It is so frustrating when you know what you want to use for a challenge and you can't find it.  I have my stamps and dies fairly well organized and labeled but once in a while there's that odd one out that gets put somewhere or with something else and you can't remember where.  After a week of searching, I finally found what I wanted for the challenge at CASology - Open.
See that little window tied in the middle of the card?  Those are cut using the illusive dies from Essentials by Ellen.  I bet you can guess what's hiding behind the windows can't you?
That's right.  It's those darling monsters from YNS, colored with Distress Inks.  I hope this is CAS enough.  I got some purple paint on my card front and did a little splatter to cover it up.  I was wishing for a better way to keep the window closed but twine was the best I could think of.

Thanks for dropping by.

So glad you found that die, Bobby, because this is awesome! I love those little monsters and the purple paint was a winning happy accident. I think the twine is perfect for closing the window - it's like the ribbon on a present. Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!

Oh, so very fun, and I love the surprise when you open the window. I am currently looking for my newest square tag die from PTI, so I know what you mean about supplies disappearing. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology.

Hahaha ... I just laughed out loud at your surprise monsters, Bobby ... they're brilliant! Fab colouring, fantastic idea ... the splattering adds to the sense of surprise from those doors opening and the monsters jumping out! Hugs, Anita :)
