STAMPlorations CAS February Challenge - choose happy

This month's STAMPlorations CAS Challenge is:



Here's my card with the color twist:




[How I made the card]
1. Swiped the Distress Oxide Ink pad (Salty Ocean) over a piece of white cardstock.
2. White heat-embossed the sentiment on the swipe.
3. Die-cut the swiped paper with the frame die.
4. Die-cut a little heart from red glitter paper and glued it to the panel.
5. Dry embossed the card base.
6. Slightly tilted the front panel and popped it up on the card base using a rectangle piece of craft foam. 


This is actually a card for myself. I bought this sentiment stamp to remind myself of what I sometimes forget. 😉


Thanks for stopping by!

  3. Your bright blue DOX swipe really made your white heat embossed sentiment pop, Hideko. I love your added glittery red heart, die cut framing and dry embossed subtle textured card base. A wonderful example of a CAS card design. TFS and joining us at STAMPlorations CAS Card Challenge with the optional color twist: Cerulean Blue. Hugs..Nancy
