Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday.
It's the fabulous Doni's turn to host our Addicted to CAS challenge this week and she has a great code word for us:
I had a new stamp set called Artsy Leaves and realized that this was a great set for this challenge as the leaves are just silhouettes. I decided to go with a more masculine and neutral color scheme. I used three different shades of warm gray for the colors on a soft gray background and used a pop of teal/turquoise for the sentiment. I love the soft color scheme, but realized it needed just a little something-something :-) So I pulled out my Pico embellisher and added a few white dots into the negative spaces created in some of the leaf silhouettes.
Herre's my card:
Even though this has a more masculine feel, I do think it could work for females who like graphical CAS designs. Just like someone I know… errrr… me 🙂
If you are looking for some inspiration, you have to look no further than the wonderful cards of our design team.
On a personal note:
I have a couple of photos to share with you tonight, including this shot of an amazing butterfly. When I saw the underside of his wings he looked just like bark… I could understand how well he would be camouflaged in a normal environment. He did stand out on the rotting orange, but he was amazing.
Seriously…. does that look like a butterfly? If you had seen him against a tree… you really would have found it difficult to identify him. Amazing.
Of course, I can't help but share a photo of the this……
I'll be back tomorrow with another card – and some more photographs. In the meantime warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight, including my Pammie.
Hugs
Jaydee

This looks awesome 🙂
I really like your design. The shades of grey with the pop of color is just perfect…you’ve inspired me!
Awesome card for male or female.
‘tree bark’ butterfly; very unusual. Never seen one like it. Really neat looking. Other butterfly photo is just as lovely. Thanks for sharing.
I love the simplicity of your card and you’re right, the Pico dots are the perfect add-on. Thanks for sharing your piece of nature with the beautiful butterfly pictures. They are gorgeous!!
Your Artsy Leaves are gorgeous, Jaydee! I love how you created your own DSP with your pattern, too!
Thanks so much for the photos of these amazing butterflies…I love them!
Great card, Jaydee! I think it is unisex 🙂 (But okay, you know, I am not into very cute cards 😉 Love how you played with different grey tones for leaves!
loved the simplicity of this card.
