I have to say that is this probably one of the few times I knew immediately what I was going to do when it came to my dt card. One of my very first stamping purchases was this really fun stamp from Hero Arts called Large Artsy Circles. It is a border-type stamp which are pretty useful when it comes to creating a CAS style card. Simply stamp the border, add a sentiment and you are done. I stamped the image in a color I don't use alot when it comes to papercrafting: orange. I then added some rhinestones and the sentiment (also Hero Arts) which I thought was rather appropriate given that I had used the rhinestones. I rounded two corners for additional interest.
Thanks for stopping by.... make sure you check out the cards from the rest of the design team: Melissa, Tracey, Jen, Ardyth, Judy, Maureen, Meghan and this week's guest designer, Kim. Can't wait to see what you come up with using this week's cue word!
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white; Stamps: Hero Arts; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black & Tangelo; Rhinestones: Stampin Up! and Want2Scrap; Fiskars corner rounder
A very fun graphic card Rosie!
ReplyDeleteThe happy orange is so great! I am a fan for sure!
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun - there's a lot going on but because they're all open, it's still very CAS. Love it (and the bling, of course!)
ReplyDeleteThis is CAS perfection, Rosemary! Love the simple circles and the perfectly placed gemstones and sentiment! I also really like how you rounded the corners of the main panel while using white on white!
ReplyDeleteI have always liked this stamp but could never quite figure out how to use it. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you stamped the Artsy Circles, Rosie!
ReplyDeletePerfect card! Love all the circles!
ReplyDeleteThe circles are so nice, beautiful stamps!

Oh, I love, love this, Rosemary! I'm saving this design idea in my go-to all-purpose card folder. It would be equally fantastic in ANY color!!
ReplyDeleteI need this stamp set! This is such a brilliantly perfect CAS design, Rosemary, love the link between the bling and the sentiment! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteHello Rosie
ReplyDeleteThe first impression when one views this card is "How lovely" Just two stamps, and the initial response ...easy! Ha, if only, I say to myself, it is perplexing to read 'I knew exactly what I was going to do' these words are so alien to me in my creative world. Your Colour choice is perfect for this design, the card is stunning.
Smiles:)
