CAS Stamped and sentiments cards

Hello Everyone

This is Manu and we, the team lulupu is showcasing CAS cards for this forthnight!! The team has decided to bring in some interesting topics to share with all of you every 2nd fortnight of the month, the first fortnight will be all about the Inspirations for that months challenge. The Second fortnight will be dedicated to some fabulous tips, tricks and techniques about the various trending things in the crafting industry so that we are all well aware of what goes on around us.

The team has done a fabulous job of showcasing different CAS style cards till now. We still have one more post about these CAS (Clean And Simple) cards apart from this one. I have focused on the Stamped and sentiments based CAS cards and have quite a few to share with you today.

Before I share what I made, I'm sure you must have made something for this months challenge and do not forget to share and link it up here.

This month is all about Anything but a square and Rectangle, read all about it here.

Challenge #51

Anything but a square and rectangle

Here's what I made for the CAS cards. I made 5 different cards using different techniques and which gave different looks too!

Here's the complete listing of my cards(And it's too difficult to pick a fav, but wait, I'll let you know which one I love the most )

This Card is made from Avery Elle stamp and I soo love the cute baby elephant in this one!! Elephant themed stamps are so in trend these days, I couldn't help getting one for myself. The front panel is die cut with a circle die and then kept inverted to get the green and blue distressing done. Then it's flipped back for the stamping and the colouring.

This is another simple one with Micia stamp flowers and W&W sentiment stamp. CAS is somewhat I thought is not my style until I made these simple cards. Simple, yet very unique and fun!

Well, one of my fav brand for Cute stamps is the LAWN FAWN (checkout the store for some awesome Lawn FAwn stamps) and the cards comes out to be super cute when these stamps are used. I definitely had to make one using these pretties!

Watercoloring is another trend which is super hot in the crafty world these days!! We had a watercolor challenge too which was a big hit with our readers and Since BOLD and BIG sentiments world awesomely well with watercolors, I went ahead and did a very simple water resist embossing technique in this card, and I was happy the way the colors pop up against the black background.
