Crushed Curry Petals

Wow!  It isn't often that three challenges come along that can fit one card.  I love it when that happens.  It needed to be clean and simple using the code word "petals" for the Addicted to CAS Challenge so I used some cute little flowers.  The top row of the Tic-Tac-Toe was my choice for The Paper Players Challenge, which is why I made the Crushed Curry twine.  For the one year old or older stamp set to show off some May flowers for the Retro Rubber Challenge, I used the Nature's Perfection stamp set from the 2015 Sale-A-Bration Brochure.  How do you think I did?

One of the things I never have on hand is the right color of baker's twine.  So, I keep plenty of white in the drawer.  Why?  I can make it any color I want.  Now, how cool is that!  The Whisper White Baker's Twine was dyed using Crushed Curry ink and a Blending Tool.  Simple!

You can't see it, but the Crushed Curry flowers were coated with a Clear Wink of Stella Brush.  The shimmer looks so nice on those little flowers.

  2. Oh, I love your beautiful CAS card! The details are absolutely perfect!! I totally agree about keeping white baker's twine on hand for that "perfect" touch. A little touch of color and I am good to go! Thanks for playing along with us at Retro Rubber and hope you can join us again soon.

    1. Thank you, Debbie! I'm loving the Retro Rubber Challenge. It gives me a chance to use those stamps that I've kept that don't get used very often. Clever idea for a challenge.
