I was thrilled to be asked by Loll Thompson to join one of my very favorite CAS Challenges as the January Guest Designer.
The 1st challenge for the Addicted to CAS #29 Challenge, Codewordie Cuts was soooo much fun :-) How can you go wrong with Dies ?!? Loll is hosting this challenge and how fun that I got to use the Cheery Lynn Designs Wreath Strip Die that Loll gave me for Christmas :-) Thank you again my friend!
I love the technique of brayering ink onto EB folders, which adds even more texture. Even tho I used so many dies on my card it is still a CAS design. BTW, the "Thx" was die cut 3 x's to give it more dimension.
I am uploading my card early, but by midnight you will see the samples from the entire amazingly talented ATCAS Design Team. Kylie is the owner of the Blog and a wonderfully talented and fun Aussie stamper:-)
Thanks again Loll, Kylie and all the team for honoring me with a chance to play along for a month.
Happy New Year........Hugs, Nancy

Nancy, what a great way to kick off your GD spot - so glad to have you join us. I love the wood grain backdrop and the fabulous coloring on the plant pot. The brown background really makes it all come to live. Gorgeous.

So glad you could join us at ATCAS, Nancy! I love the clay pot. It looks so real! It really pops on the white and I like how you have inked the woodgrain!
