CAS-ual Friday and FWF!



There are so many great challenges out there in blogland. I've been seeing this CAS-ual Friday's challenge for a while now and decided it was time to give it a go. This week it's Embossing.  That's it. Any kind of embossing, just keep your card clean and simple.
I put my July KOM and August Unity KOM to work and made these two cards. I also linked them up with the Unity Friends With Flair post. Check that out here.
Fist card uses a Papertrey Ink impression plate. Love those cheeta spots! Kind of different and a mix of styles, but I like how it turned out.
On this next one, I decided to use some white embossing powder to make those branches pop off the page. White craft ink and white embossing powder and done! I stamped the butterfly first, then did the embossing. Easy peasy. Finished this one off with a few rhinestones and some vintage cream twine.
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend! Our weekend is full of soccer games and I can't wait. Our club is hosting our annual tournament and the boys are ready for some fun, hardwork and hopefully a trophy! Go CSA!
