I have had a FABULOUS time this month as Guest Designer with Addicted to CAS - and LUCKY for me, there are three challenges this month!!! The code word for this fortnight is LUXURY, and the first thing I thought of was a wedding card. To me luxury in card making is all about texture, you feel like you just want to reach out and touch anything luxurious! So I created my card with a base of linen textured and pearlised pale gold cardstock, which I partly embossed with this gorgeous Tim Holtz embossing folder, and added a dark red velvet ribbon, threaded through this stunning silver Maya Road buckle I had been hoarding in my stash.
So get out your best crafting stash (you know, the stuff you have been saving for a special occassion!) and get creating!
And just in case you get stuck for ideas, the Design Team has some FANTASTIC inspiration at Addicted to CAS - drop by their blogs and say hello - you know you want too!
Also playing along with Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes.
