WLS Feb#1 - CAS

Good Morning everyone

Its the 1st Sunday of February so time for a new challenge over at 

The theme this month is CAS (Clean and Simple)

Or if thats not for you we always have the anything goes option as long as you use stamping

So CAS is not easy for me to do, a bit like OTT, Im more of the middle road kind of crafter😀  I suspect my design here is slightly over CAS but i did sit on my hands when they were itching to add a few tiny gems😁.....It is CAS for me!


A6 (6x4") Turquoise card base made using nesting dies.  I die cut a smaller die from white cardstock and stamped the hare towards the bottom right corner with ombre inkpad with shades of teal, turquoise & green.  I stamped the hare a 2nd time and cut out.  I took a smaller nested die and embossed into the white panel so it lined up nicely with the hare - just use a rubber mat to emboss the die without cutting.  I very lightly inked inside the die with the ombre ink pad to add a little frame.  I then stamped the words 'long eared mammal' & 'long-legged' that are in the stamp set along the edges of the frame.

I decoupaged the 2nd stamped hare with glue gel to add just a little dimension.

Here you can see the slight dimension the hare has, adding a little interest to an otherwise flat card.

Items Used
aall&create stamps #836 'Long eared mammal'
Kaleidacolor ombre inkpad 'Caribbean sea'
Turquoise card
CraftUk ltd hammered effect white card
Nesting dies




These lovely stamps from Lavinia are the prize these month for 2 lucky winners

  7. Such a gorgeous creation Emma, I think you have pitched it just right for CAS. I think I have done wrong by adding backing paper.
