CAS-ual Fridays Challenge CFC1

Today's card is for the brand new CAS-ual Fridays Challenge. This week's challenge is to use text on your card. I love this challenge! Here's what I came up with.



This card is a real mash-up of different companies' things. My focal panel is glossy white. I stamped the Everlasting Romance in Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder. Then I stamped the Script background with Crumb Cake ink. Finally, I sponged Bermuda Bay ink over the whole thing. A silver ribbon and a sweet little tag made with Tiny Tags completes the card.

I can't wait to see what the challenge is next week!


Details: stamps - Everlasting Romance (Unity), Tiny Tags, Script background (Stampin' Up retired); paper - Glossy White (SU), Soft Stone, Smokey Shadow; ink - Versamark, Crumb Cake (SU), Bermuda Bay (SU), Smokey Shadow; other - clear detail embossing powder (SU), silver ribbon, silver cord (SU), dimensionals
