You'd better shape up!

Hello, crafting friends!

Happy Saturday and welcome to a brand new challenge at Addicted to CAS. Raga has chosen a fun code word for the next two weeks:

There are SO many different ways to go on this one! I immediately thought of using a favourite Uniko stamp, Background Blocks Arts Décoratif, and have made a masculine birthday card with it.

This stamp is more than capable of carrying a card on its own! I stamped it directly onto a card base, using Memento black ink, and coloured the shapes with coloured pencils, using soft natural hues. The sentiment is from Uniko's Simply Said Blocks, stamped and snipped out. I added one grey enamel dot to contrast with all those angular lines.

So now it's your turn! Pop over to the Addicted to CAS blog where you will be blown away by the inspiration from the rest of the team and from our special guest Elaine Place. You can link up your card there too when you're ready - but don't forget to keep your card nice and CAS!

CHALLENGES

I've used the beautiful soft colours at The Color Throwdown challenge and am also linking up at Make My Monday where the theme is Masculine Birthday.

AND IN OTHER NEWS

I'm well known for my exaggerations in my family - "It's absolutely filthy" is likely to mean there's a slight mark on it for example, or "You must be pretty well starving" translates to "You've only had three sandwiches and a few cakes." I was in the kitchen putting the shopping away yesterday evening while my eldest son was preparing himself a snack, and I looked at the clock. "Good grief, it's 9 o'clock!" I said. "How did that happen?!" My son gave me a sideways look. " I know," he said. "It's practically midnight!"

Sending hugs,
