paper smooches card set

Here's a quick post to share a CAS card set. I usually make card sets as gifts for others, but I'm keeping this one for myself. I used the color scheme from the current CARDS challenge (the aqua looks a bit green here), Paper Smooches stamps and some new Neenah cardstock and new Hero Arts ink.






I'm also linking up to these challenges:
Paper Smooches SPARKS - anything goes
Simon Says Stamp - something new
CASology - new
CAS-ual Fridays - CFC84 thank you
CARDS challenge blog - colors below




Thanks for visiting,
Barb xx

This set is beautiful, Barb. I love those leafy silhouettes against all the color blocking. I would keep these for myself, too ;-).

Great colorful cards, Barb. I love the color blocking. Reminds me of how on-trend that technique used to be - I think we called it 'shadow block'? Hmm, now I'm not sure, but I still have the solid block stamps. Maybe you'll start a revival! I'm off to check out these challenges ... TFS!

OK, will be doing this in my future. Made a couple cards awhile back using the ink applicator tool to create blocks (a Tim H. technique) but you've taken it up a notch. Love these and loved hearing from you. Wishing you a fun-filled 2013 my friend.
