Hello friends and fellow bloggers. Sorry I have not been around much this week, with no cards to show. However, just like buses you wait for ages then two along at the same time! I have used the same dies and colours as on a previous post last week but just varied them slightly.
Firstly the cards are 6 x 6 inches, whereas the last one was 7 x 5. My intention was to make one card. I started out by die cutting my Cuttlebug flowers and attaching them to red card stock. I then die cut the MB Tessatina border twice and the SB Borderabilities Bracket Border One. Now it just became too fussy so I cut another piece of white card stock, but this time just using one of the edgers and leaving out the decorative insert.
For the second card, since I had already die cut the white card sock with an edge and a decorative insert, I omitted the Tessatina borders and computer generated a sentiment instead. Using white satin ribbon from my stash I wrapped it around and added a bow to each card, and finished them off with pearls from my stash.
So two very simple cards today which, while not exactly CAS, do look quite "clean". I am really starting to like the CAS look to cards.
I apologise for the wonky pictures but when I tried to retake them it was too dark.
Hope you are all looking forward to the weekend. It doesn't seem two minutes since it was last Friday!!

Very striking colours, the red and white look so fresh. Two different cards but the same theme very ingenious.
I believe as we get older the time passes quicker the days run into weeks and then months and finally years and they all seem to fly.
