Hi! I am posting this card which I submitted earlier this week to CASology's Under challenge. Kimberly Wiener of wieneryhoneymooners.blog fame left a comment about this card and suggested I enter it into the Merry Monday current challenge - so here I am. This is my first time submitting a card to this challenge although I do follow some of the participants namely Bonnie and I think gads there is no way I could make a C card weekly. But recently I began to make my own C cards and have submitted a couple to other challenges. I guess MM challenges would work for me because I hate to mass produce as it works against my grain of creativity. Typically I stamp and use copics and when I stamp an image I stamp more than one and may only color one and the rest go into a container.
The story behind this card is I was making it to show at a card class I am teaching in three hours to a group of women who range in skill level. Having said that I usually teach techniques and for this card a couple of things one can do to a CAS card such as paper-pieceing, tearing paper for snow and using stickles. While I was making this card it dawned on me it would fit for CASology's cue word under. The rest is history I submitted the card Kim W liked it and suggest I submit it to MM.
Stamp - Unity Gifts Galore, SU! (sentiment)
Paper - Neenah, snippets
