CAS - Clean and Simple

So I've been making some One Layer Cards this weekend - thought I'd give it a shot.

~Card Recipe~
Stamps: Impression Obsession Girly Words set, Thank You Kindly
Paper: PTI SSWhite
Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black
Accessories: Copic marker, Stickles

So for some more interest on the ship here I inked it with the VersaFine and then I stamp the bouquet from the Doodlebug Wedding set, onto the solid stamp, taking away some ink, this left the neat pattern on the boat

Here's a close up...

~Card Recipe~
Stamps: Rubber Soul Travel set, Thank You Kindly, Doodlebug Wedding set

Paper: PTI SSWhite

Ink: VersaFine Deep Lagoon

Accessories: BG Pearls, Tempting Turquoise ribbon

Here I inked up the tree with Kiwi Kiss and then over that with Old Olive, on the trunk & edge of leaves - bit of bling & ribbon - TaDa!  Can't say as I love actually tying the ribbon around the card, I usually tie it around a wood block, cut it off & position it on card and glue to the back of the layer so that it's snug :)

CAS Beauty

Well my sister was over the other weekend (for Gabryel's Birthday) and said she wanted something more simple :) I actually let her make some of her own, with stuff that I'd colored already and some that she stamped... I think she had fun :)

any way - here's what I came up with - I think that I could even swing this one layer, but these are the makeup item on it's own layer, the ovals are popped up and the just brush is flat against the card base.

little small one
