I am doing a CAS-ology challenge for the first time today! I visit their blog often and love all the CAS designs. Another thing I appreciate is that descriptions of features that make a great CAS design are included. So you get all these wonderful tips as well as seeing lots of fabulous inspiration cards!
Today was a perfect day for the challenge as I just received my latest WPlus9 order. Love all my new Christmas-themed toys! You might think I would make a Christmas card but I thought this die was a great choice for what is actually more of a Spring card. The new leaf seems just right to illustrate hope.
I first embossed the leafy branch for a background. The leaf was cut with a Spellbinders die using some patterned paper. And the sentiment from PTI's Pretty Peonies set seemed to fit perfectly.
Thanks for letting me share. I can definitely see more CAS-ology challenges in my future!
Hope you are having a Happy Wednesday,
Sharron
