New Addicted to CAS Challenge - Trees

 


We're back today on the Addicted to CAS Challenge Blog with a new challenge:


For all the details about the challenge and to see the cards from the rest of the team, head over to the challenge blog here.

Here's another view of my card:


When I saw the challenge theme I remembered a stamp that I bought as part of a job lot of stamps and dies from a destash group.

The stamp is called 'Shadow Tree' and is made by Memory Box.  It's a red rubber cushioned stamp so I'm guessing it's quite old!

I die cut the stamped panel using a square stitched die from Crafters Companion.

The sentiment I've used is from the A Sentiment for (Almost) Everything stamp set by Trinity Stamps from Relatively Thoughtful here.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:


NBUS Challenge - first time using this stamp



Time Out Challenges - mother nature
