Just a quickie today. This card came about because I messed up the heat embossing on a sentiment that is hidden by the ribbon. You will see what it was meant to look like next week as it is one of my we love stamping DT cards. Anyway, I decided I could rescue this panel with a piece of ribbon from my stash. I was very pleased with the colour match. It is a dark green, not black.
The stamp is by Clarity Stamp, the set includes 20 of these little lino cut images.
It feels good to make a truly CAS card, as recently I feel like I have moved away from my CAS roots.

Perfect CAS card and it looks really noble.
ReplyDeleteI have a great fondness for lino-cut stamps and still have a few I haven't used yet. These are so pretty and delicate. It feels good to accomplish a CAS card when that is your preferred style. Try as I might I can only do one by accident, ha! Good fix with the ribbon, Hilary.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the look of this card, Hilary! Love seeing the use of ribbon, even though it wasn't what you first had in mind!
