The Paper Players PP751 - A CAS Challenge from Elizabeth




Join us! I am your hostess and i
t is Clean and Simple (CAS) week at The Paper Players.  Think lots of white space, minimal layers and embellishments.  I am challenging you to create a CAS card that includes CRITTERS.

I love Taylored Expressions' Gus and Gertie stamps.  These critters are some of my favorites.  I have simply colored and die cut the roller skating characters. I embossed my cardbase and added a rainbow flair, then adhered Gus and Gertie with foam tape.   The sentiment is simply stamped, die cut and adhered.  Final touch was the addition of a lot of small silver stars.  Easy peasy.

I made half dozen of these cards to create a set for my skate-loving niece.  I love to give boxed sets away as gifts.

Check out our fabulous design team.  These ladies work hard to inspire you each week.  Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.

Here's a quick recap of our challenge rules:
 
1.  Create a new paper project
2.  Upload your creation to your blog with a link back to us and provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge submission.
3.  Please link your card to no more than four challenges in total.

Enjoy!  I am looking forward to your inspired creations in the gallery.

What a gorgeous swooping rainbow! The roller skating dog make me smile but the bird with boots really put the icing on the cake. :-)

Elizabeth this is so fun! The roller skaters are cute indeed but the rainbow whoosh is just fab and a great way to cut through the white space. Love it!

Elizabeth, could this be any more fun??? I adore the sopping rainbow with this embossing adds so much detail! That skating dog with his little friend steals the show!
