Hi there bloggies!
Well … I have something completely different for you today … because the CAS-ual Friday challenge had me rummaging around in my pre-SU! stash to find my stickers!!! Yes … I have a mountain of them … but have hardly touched them in the last 4 years! 😀 But … this week’s CAS-ual Friday challenge is called “Stuck on You” and we have to use some stickers. Here is what I created …
So … new stuff???? Yep! I am sooo loving this “Pool Party” colour … and have NEVER worked out how to use last year’s in-colour “Poppy Parade”. That is until NOW!!! 😀 Isn’t this a fabulous colour combo!!! You might have also noticed the wheel stamps at the bottom … these are two of the new “build a wheel” type stamps … the top one is “Bees & Blossoms” and the bottom one is from the current (for 2 more days) mini catty and it is called “Delight in Gladness”! I managed to use my Crop-a-dile to punch some tiny circles from the sticker strips to add to the centre of the stamped flowers. I think this was the perfect “finish” to the card! MMMmmm … I am quite satisfied with this one … and I do think it is true to the CAS style for the challenge. What do you think???
Oh … and while I am here … I also noticed that the Just Add Ink Challenge for this week is to “Just Add … Something from your Stash” … so I do think this qualifies for that challenge too! 😀 How fab!!! Off to do some Father’s Day shopping & some nephew birthday shopping … and … of course … pop in on mum & hang her washing & check she is okay! Good report from the infectious diseases doc yesterday … so things are finally starting to look up! See you all soon! Hugs xxaxx
Lovely card – nice fresh colours 🙂 I’m always interested to see new ways to use the Bliss stamp set – so versatile 😉
Hope you have a fantastic day!
Thanks for sharing!

I’ve struggled to use Poppy Parade but when I do use it I find I love it! LOL I love how the butterflies look like they are dancing over your card 🙂
Andrea adds: It’s nice to know I am not the only one who has struggled with PP! 😉 And … I went back and looked at my card! You are right … the butterflies ARE dancing!!! 😀 Hugs xxaxx

OK…attempt #2 at trying to write something..LOL!!! I think the stickers really ‘step up” the card…love the wavey lines….if you really wanna go “deep” they mimic the wavey pattern of the B’flies and flowers…see so straight just wldn’t wk!!!! I have not been a big used of Poppy Pde (as I thought I may…but I’ll prob break it out around Chrissy time…LOL!!! Hope you got all the chores done. ooxx
Andrea adds: How can we not go “deep” … it is a Lynda comment after all!!! 😉 Hhhmmm … Poppy Parade & Lucky Limeade would make some bright Chrissy cards! Hugs xxaxx

Andrea adds: Oh … I am slowly discovering the new colours … and how they work together! I am sure with a bit more time … you will warm to them! I am very happy to have a new purple (Wisteria Wonder) … and that gorgeous “Pool Party”! Hugs xxaxx

Love it, love it, love it!
You know how to leave just the right amount of white and bring the rest of the card to life with coloured images.
It’s such a happy card.
Cheers
