CASing cards

Hi there

Yesterday my friend Pat came round to do some crafting... Sometimes we come up with a new card, other times Pat likes to CASe one of my cards and occasionally we trawl Pinterest to find some we can CASe together... The latter is what we did yesterday

First we were inspired by this card 


from an amazing designer at MFT - Donna Mikasa

Here's our version ... 


This is the only skyline die I had so we cut it a few times and layered it after first applying various ink pads and water to a piece of CS to create a colourful look


The second card we CASed is this card 


by a super talented lady ... Maureen Merritt (WPlus9)
Fortunately I had the same stamp set by WPlus9 and here's our take



If you have never visited Donna or Maureen's blogs please click on the links and check out their lovely designs... I just know you'll love them as much as I do.

Thanks so much for your visit... Have a great day!

Loving the card from Donna, its really beautiful, as is yours. Love how you've done the colours and cut the card on the diagonal. Great take on the WPlus9 card and that you had the stamp set! Again your colours are gorgeous and how you've done them. Looks like you and Pat had a great crafty day? x
