Sometimes I love my cards.......sometimes I don't. I have to say I do love this one. It's when I come up with a CAS beauty that I am most proud because I struggle with keeping it simple. I embossed the posies from Bordering on Romance in black on Blushing Bride cardstock and then shaded them with a Blushing Bride marker. I embossed the leaves on Wild Wasabi and shaded them with a Wild Wasabi marker. What you can't see in this photo and it did not matter how many gazillion photos I took, is that the under layer of vanilla cardstock is embossed with SU's striped folder, so it just adds a real element of special with the two embossing folders but you can't SEE it. Oh well, IRL this is prettier! Isn't vanilla cardstock so yummy you could just EAT it???? (I'm back on a diet today,and I'm not gonna lie to ya, I could eat ANY Color right about now.....okay well ummmmm....maybe not bravo burgandy.....but anything else goes!)YAY! I made a pretty CAS card!! Bear with me - lots of times I lament over not liking my cards! (I don't ALWAYS ALWAYS toot my own horn unless I really love one!) Happy Tuesday everyone!

You are too cute and sweet...:0). This is a wonderful CAs card and definitely worthy to be glad about. CAS ones are harder for me too. and liek this one cards do look so much nicer IRL so I bet this is sooooooo much prettier I agree but even here its so soft and pretty with lovely embossing in the bg...TFs..:0)
