I can show it now......

this was a different kind of card for me.....................

CAS - which is a contradiction in terms for me as simple it was not..............................

it took me several attempts to get the final look, first of all I stamped the tree and it wasn't grounded and looked a bit silly - so second attempt looked okay but then I managed to get a finger print on it!!!......................

this is the third attempt........................



I wasn't brave enough to keep it as CAS as I originally intended as I only stamped the birds once but after looking at it for a while I gave in and ended up stamping them twice!!

so not as CAS as it could have been - but we all have to start somewhere......................






I coloured one of the heart leaves with red stickles and managed to keep it in the shape of a heart with the help of a pokey tool.............................




 
 
 
the other half likes it anyway so I suppose that is what counts!!
 
 
 
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you and yours are all keeping warm and safe

  1. Brilliant, the tree of "hearts" is wonderful.
    Love how you picked out the heart and coloured it it.
    Even with 2 lots of birds I would still class this CAS
    Have a great day

  2. Fantastic card Gail. The red heart is brilliant. I'm glad to see that other people get finger marks on cards also. I can always manage it when the card is just finished.

  3. Gail I think you would get away with this being a CAS card, I like how you have put the red on that one heart.
