CAS-ual Fridays First Challenge

CAS-ual Fridays is a new CAS challenge blog, go and check it out HERE.  On Friday they launched their very first challenge, to use text prominently on a CAS card.

I've given it a bash, let's hope I left enough "open" space as the rules require.  I think that in relation to the size of my card I have, the card is only 4" X 4".  And I hope I used enough text!

I decided to use some of my Purple Onion Design stamps today and some yummy Basicgrey patterned paper.

Paper: Hero Arts Notecard; Basicgrey (patterned paper); Neenah Solar White
Ink: Tumbled Glass and Shabby Shutters DI; Versafine Onyx Black; Versamark
Stamps: POD; Hero Arts (Friendship Definition); Technique Tuesday (sentiment)
Other: Pearls (stash)

I stamped the 4 text scallops from POD using Tumbled Glass DI, lined them up on my card and allowed that to dictate the size of the card. I then adhered a strip of beautiful Basicgrey paper over part of the scallops and another strip of white cardstock, on which I had stamped the Friendship Definition in Tumbled Glass.

The butterfly is the largest of a set from POD.  I clear embossed it on white cardstock and inked it up with Tumbled Glass DI, cut it out and then inked up the edges with some Shabby Shutters DI.  Finally I added the pale blue pearls to the body and adhered the finished butterfly to the card, lifting one wing with pop dots.

Thank you for looking.  I posted earlier today is you are interested in a White on White challenge!
