Since discovering this great site a couple of weeks ago, I've already learnt so much, and am in awe of the great talent that's out there. I love to make uncluttered cards with space on them and now I know what they're called! My hubby is very supportive of my cardmaking and always wants to see what I've been making - now I just casually say 'Oh it's just another CAS card darling...' which sounds so - well, artistic, and I'm definitley not!
I love using bling on my cards - sometimes it's just one teeny gem but in the spirit of the challenge I used loads on this card. All the star points and the star centres are rhinestones. The stamp is embossed in silver. As a relative newbie to stamping, I still can't believe it when that embossing powder goes all shiny as if by magic!
Thanks for dropping by.

Stunning creation! So glad you found this great site and have jumped right in sharing your creations! Your blurb was so sweet to read, too - it's been a few years now, but I can remember being captivated by watching the EP melt. I couldn't wait for a friend of mine to show me how. I was sure it was something complicated, and so I was thrilled to find out how easy it is Keep uploading! And WELCOME to SCS!!

Sally, welcome to the site and you have got some gallery going already. I LOVE your CAS cards. I struggle to make them, but so enjoy seeing ones done well and yours certainly are. THIS IS STUNNING - Sometimes less is better and it certainly is in this case. LOVE the blue ribbon, bling and silver embossing. As long as I've been doing stamping, I still LOVE to see that embossing powder set all shiny!!! TFS!!!!

Wow! Stunning. Simple and gorgeous, all at the same time. Really, you were born stamping, huh? Brat Cards told me about your work, and I am so glad I looked! Your gallery is great. TSMFS!
