CAS-ual Fridays Happily Ever After


Hello, I'm over on the CAS-ual Fridays blog today sharing a wedding card I made using "Ever After" and "Terrific Flowers" stamp sets.

I love the font from this gorgeous sentiment set!  Ever After  
is filled with sentiments about love and perfect for weddings and anniversaries.

I started by stamping the whimsical floral from 
Terrific Flowers in grey ink and coloured it in with Prisma pencils.  
I then stamped the sentiment with Versafine Black ink over the top of my image.

Hello, today I thought I'd make a start on my Christmas cards.  I didn't get the chance to send any out last year so I'm going to try my best this year!

There's a fun challenge over at CAS Christmas Card Challenge 
to use a Christmas song, so I've made my card especially for that. 

I've used this fun set from Uniquely Creative called
 " Aussie Christmas" that I purchased last year.  This is the first time I have had the chance to use it.  The sentiment is from 
Mama Elephant " O'Tiny Tree".
