I’ve never seen you shine so bright

Sharing a quick CAS card I made using some of the stamps from the Beautiful You set from Stampin’ Up!.

I’ve really grown to love CAS cards and how elegant they can look, especially in a classic colour scheme of black and white with a pop of colour.  I chose to go with red for my colour pop to match the current theme at Try it on Tuesday of ‘The Lady in Red’.

Over at Stamp Ink Paper they are celebrating the birthday of one of their DT, Andrea, and are looking for birthday themed projects.  I don’t always put a birthday sentiment on my birthday cards but I really liked the one that came in the Beautiful You set so I added it to my card.  I just masked off the ‘gorgeous’ as it’s not really something I’d say to the recipient.

I resisted the urge to add in any shaker elements and therefore also stayed clear of my dies so I’m linking this up at CAS-ual Fridays where dies are currently not allowed.  For a bit of sparkle and bling I did add in a few tiny gems.
