Sharing a CAS
card featuring one of the images and sentiments from the now retired Beach Happy set by Stampin’ Up!.
I needed to make
a retirement card for a male colleague and was in need of inspiration so I turned
to the challenge blogs and, as usual, I found some. First up was Addicted to CAS and their silhouette
challenge, which, when combined with the black and white and a splash of colour
challenge at Creative Friday had me digging through my stamps for this deck
chair image. I used a circle die to
create a stencil to add in the sun for my splash of colour and then did the
rest in the requisite black.
For my layout I followed
the current sketch at The Paper Players.
It gave me the opportunity to frame the silhouetted image adding
some interest to my otherwise quite simple card. Although CAS I love the pop of yellow and think it turned out pretty good.
