CAS-ual Fridays CFC111 Buttons

Today I am entering the CAS-ual Fridays CFC111 buttons challenge.

I used Buttoned Up die #1 from Papertrey Ink to die cut the buttons, they were then stamped with the patchwork circles stamp from the Strawberry Patch stamp set in various colours of aqua ink (Adirondack Aqua, PTI Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores, Ranger Archival Turquoise and PTI Ocean Tides). I am still in love with ombre look so I am afraid that you'll be seeing it on some more cards! 

I die cut the word 'you' from aqua glitter card stock, however it got lost amidst the buttons so I swapped it out with a white die cut and used the aqua one for inside of the card. Additional sentiments are from PTI Wonderful Words Additions.

I am always challenged by CAS-ual Fridays as it's not my usual style but I like to try and step outside of my own comfort zone once in a while and these challenges are perfect!

Thanks for looking :)

Thank goodness it's hump day ;)

CAS-ual Fridays CFC90

In the spirit of entering more challenges I thought I would have a go at entering CAS-ual Fridays challenge to create a card in black and white and one colour of your choice. I decided on aqua as it's my favourite colour at the moment. I tried to make this super clean and simple and I am not sure if I like it or not.

Clean and simple is such a departure from my normal style, I like to embellish and fiddle, I know that you can do that with CAS style, I am just not very good at it so I end up with something very plain. Oh well, if you never try then you risk getting stuck in a rut :)

Thanks for looking
