Addicted to CAS #186

This week's code word at Addicted to CAS was chosen by Stephanie.  Appropriate for this time of year I do think.

I used my PTI Summer Berry set and ended up with blackberries?

I don't know why I used these colors but they looked good together and so I have blackberries that almost look like grapes.  I put them on a LF stitched rectangle with a sentiment from SSS. 

We can't wait to see what berries you use for your ATCAS card.  You are going to make one, right?

Jaydee is our host at Addicted to CAS and she has chosen this as our code word for this challenge.

As luck would have it (pardon the pun 😉) I had what I thought was a great stamp for the challenge.

The clover image, tag and sentiment are from PTI.  I stamped the clover on a label die from CF and colored it with PolyChromos pencils.  The label was popped up on fun foam and a second tag was cut from purple and the two tied together with twine.

The Design Team has some wonderful cards inspired by the code word.  Take a look at theirs and then make your own 'lucky/luck' card.  We'd love to see yours in the gallery.

Doni is the host for this Addicted to CAS challenge and she chose this as her code word.

Until recently I didn't have any cat stamps.  I don't have Copics and wondered how I could do critter images justice.  Then I fell in love with a couple of PB cat and dog stamps and gave it a whirl. Here's not one but two little cat valentines.

This kitty is colored with Inktense pencils.  To compliment the DSP I cut some tiny hearts and stamped them with sentiments from PTI.

This is the same design in a different color way with the exception of the sentiment which came from PTI.

Our sponsor is Happy Little Stampers who will award a $20 voucher to the winner.  Come on over to the blog to see what the Design Team has made to inspire you. If I can make two cards, surely you can make one for our CAT challenge.

Susan is our host at Addicted to CAS and she's picked a color for our challenge.

I wanted to play with my alcohol inks and used them to make this card.

The bottle calls it 'Patina' but I'm calling it teal.  I mixed in some silver and pounced with a blender pad which gave my panel a marble-y look.  The leaf is from PB and the silver embossed sentiment is from HA.

I wanted the teal border to be just a tiny peek and cut my first panel too small so I used it to make a second card.

This time I backed it with a panel using the tissue paper technique that I had in my drawer.  Although I hate to think about it, I am always needing sympathy cards.

Happy Little Stampers is our sponsor at ATCAS and the winner of the challenge will receive a $20 voucher to their store.  The Design Team has plenty of inspiration for you over on the blog.  Why not take time to make a "teal" card and enter it in the gallery.  Just be sure to keep it CAS (clean and simple).

It's time for another challenge at Addicted to CAS and Carolyn has chosen this code word:

There are so many ways you can go with this so I hope you will give it a try and enter a card in the gallery.  There's a prize from Happy Little Stampers of a $15 gift certificate for the winner.

You will find great inspiration from the Design Team over on the blog but first, here's a look at mine.

I cut this die from Memory Box over a year ago when I was visiting Michele and it's been sitting in a file folder since then. I ran across it looking for something else and thought it would be perfect for the challenge.  I embossed the top of the card with Clouds and the bottom with Forest Branches to give it a background and then layered the word die from SSS three times.  Yes, I see that some of the details didn't cut but rather than take a chance of ruining it, I left the pieces intact.  

Now it's your turn to make a white on white card.  I hope I see one in the gallery.
