For the Graduate

Here's a quick CAS graduation card that I made for my niece.  Just perfect for this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge.  I went with my favorite standby layout for a great CAS card -- using impressed images and scoring for detail.  You can see more cards that I made like this HERE and HERE.

I used her school colors and a strip of metallic paper that I trimmed off of her announcement.  The "memories" stamp is from Inque Boutique's Circle It set.  The red layer is a 1 1/2" circle punch stamped with an image from PTI's 2009 Autumn Tags set and the little sentiment is from PTI's Mixed Messages.

Here's a close up:

May 2011 PTI Blog Hop + CFC #3

It's time for another Papertrey Blog Hop.  This time it's all about flowers.  How could I not play along?  I always say that I'm not buying any more flower stamps and then Nichole and the Papertrey DT make some incredible projects with the new flower sets.  Into my cart they go:)

For this card I used my Sending You set.  I love these unique flowers.  I chose to stamp the largest blossom on a piece of adhesive cork that I cut out with one of the dies from Limitless Layers.

I added some yellow glitter to the center of the flower and a rhinestone colored with my R35 copic marker for some bling.  This is also for CAS-ual Fridays latest challenge: Bring the Bling.  I LOVE this new challenge blog!

I'll keep it short since you are hopping along.  Have a wonderful Wednesday!
