I am so excited to be the CAS Challenge guest designer this week...I love the work that the winter DT, guests, hostesses and alumni have been posting. This week we are to use die cuts in our cards.
I cut the poppystamps Carousel Bird Cage from CTMH black CS then heat embossed with detail silver EP. Mounted on a Nestie black oval. Punched the bird from white CS. Added stripes of color with the edge of Memento Summer Sky dewdrop pad, using Pear Tart and Rich Cocoa on the wing. Cut the flourishes with TH Festive Greenery Sizzlits Decorative Strip and coated with Glossy Accents. Mounted all to a Neenah Natural White square card and stamped the Flourishes sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black. PT - 6
Thanks Jen and Denise for this opportunity. Thank you all so much for looking and have a peaceful day.

Hi, Marie. I am trying to get back into the swing of the challenges after a holiday break. So excited to see that you are being honored with a guest slot as a design team member. Love what you've done with the die cut challenge. Now I need to try to whip out something before heading to bed. Great inspiration for me, Marie.
