CAS card class.

Can you tell I'm feeling much better?  2nd post of the day!

I started an online card class on Monday, and I'm playing catch-up.  I've just had time to watch the day 1 video and was inspired to create my version of Kristina's card:

I started with a textured piece of SU's sahara sand cardstock.  Once scored, I placed a die-cut of a mat-stack 1 shape in the middle (cut out of masking paper so it sticks down completely!)  I then stamped the entire card-front with Marketstreet's vintage wallpaper background in a light grey ink.  When I removed the mask, I was able to stamp the frame from PTI's mat stack 1 set right into the opening.  I like how there is some space between the frame and where the design starts, but if I didn't like that, I simply had to cut out my mat stack 1 image (instead of using the die-cut, which is slightly bigger.)  I think I like my way better because it saves cutting time :)

I sponged around the entire card-front in the same light grey ink, and then stamped the greeting (from Happy Trails) into the focal frame.  The swirl and ink blot are images from the same set.

I stamped the same vintage wallpaper background on a sheet of white paper in a yellow ink, and the die-cut 3 tiny hearts (from PTI's heart prints dies).  They were popped up on foam squares.

Thanks for looking!
