Addicted to CAS Challenge #146


Hi there ~ It's time for another fun challenge at Addicted to CAS and Ceal has chosen a fabulous code word for everyone ~ Diamond! 
Happy Little Stampers is our Sponsor, offering a $20.00 GC to the shop, and we have a super talented Guest Designer for this challenge...Carol G. 

Several weeks ago, I bought the Altenew Cube Builder Stencil, which is a layered stencil of diamond shapes.


I started by sponging the diamonds to create a border, then inked the flower, stems and sentiment. I embossed the word 'always' and finished the card with a few clear sparkly sequins...and that was it!

I wasn't sure about this card, so I decided to re-create it in 'portrait' view, and I like it better:



Check your stash for diamonds, then come over and check out the ATCAS Challenge Blog for lots of inspiration..and to play along :)

That soft blue diamond really adds a nice element to your beautiful flower card, Barb.

I had only thought of a 'diamond' not of the shape, you are so very clever Barb and of course your card is divine!

Such a clever way to use the cue word! Your diamond strip works perfectly with the gorgeous bloom.

A wonderful take on the challenge, Barb. Love that feint stenciling - a very effective background for that lovely die cut sentiment. I love the colors, and I love that little embossed strip and the way it's cut on an angle. Looks fabulous.

The soft stenciling looks wonderful with the die cut coloring, Barb.

H Barb! I love the way your diamond border along the bottom anchors the design. You also have a great knack on where to place the sequins for the best effect.

Delicate and lovely, Barb ... the soft stencilling is such a gorgeous base for that oh so dainty die cut rose! Hugs, Anita :)
