Congrats!

Time for a new challenge at Addicted To CAS where the Code Word is GRADUATION. Our Hostess with the mostest is Angie..

I went with a traditional (High School) graduation card. I wanted to use the recipient's school colors, black and yellow, for my card. My stamp and die are from Papertrey Ink. I am away from my craft desk at the moment, and I do not know the names of the stamp set and die, but I believe they are both retired. I love the simplicity of this card, though I felt the addition of the twine was necessary to finish it off well, still keeping it a CAS design. 

Please head on over to the ATCAS Challenge Blog, take a look at the wonderful inspiration pieces the Design Team has created for your inspiration, and make something to share in the gallery. Challenge winner will be offered a Guest Designer spot for a future challenge. Happy crafting!

Please remember that this is a CAS challenge. Here is a definition to remind you:

Time for a new challenge at Addicted To CAS: ATCAS #153: Code Word GRID.

Our Guest Designer is Eliz Stewart. Elizabeth's work is full of creativity, inspiration and fun. Be sure to treat yourself to a stroll through her blog. You will be so glad you did.

The code word immediately put me in mind of Simon Says Stamp Cling Stamp Lattice Grid. I embossed a piece of Neenah Solar White 80# card stock with white embossing powder. I then blended 3 shades of Distress Oxide Ink over the embossing. I cut the embossed panel, adhered it to the card base along with a 1/8" strip of dark gray card stock. I die cut the word "love" from a snippet of watercolored card stock with Papertrey Ink Wonderful Words Love Die and stamped "you" from Simon Says Stamp's You Matter.
