I'm going to try and write a quick post because it's very late and I need to get to bed. I've got two cards to share from the CAS Card Making class, day #3. (Suddenly I'm remembering when I was back in High School and College - staying up late to do homework!)
My first card was created by using the offset stamping technique, shared by Kristina. So simple but it can have a wonderful effect when using bright, happy colors!
Jennifer added a die-cut bow to her card, but I don't have that die. Thankfully she also showed us a way to make our own. It's not perfect but it sure was a neat idea to try! :)
Thanks for stopping by - I'm off to catch some zzzzzzzz's.

Both cards are so beautiful, Barb. Love the happy colors of the flowers and you inked the bg so beautifuly. And the bow...it is perfect!
Thanks Barb you inspired me to try something out. I received some Hero Arts shadow ink to try out. And the offsite stamping technique is perfect for showing the quality of this ink!
And I know what you mean that it's scary to leave white spots. But your results are beautiful!
LOL - I'm trying to keep up with my homework but definitely need to hit the sack for an early morning start tomorrow. Love your cards today. Each quite different colours but very effective
Beautiful gradient stamping, Barb! The handmade bow is perfect!
Barb, I cannot believe you made that bow by hand! Amazing! I didn't even try! Love your gradient and shadow stamping cards!
Jaw dropping...wow oh wow! I love them both and the second one knocks my socks off. Fabulous gradient stamping.
I thought about ordering that die, but decided it is a lot less expensive to make my own bows!! You did great with this technique!
Both Cards are sooooo Pretty Barb!! Just Loving the CAS2 Class!! xoxoxo
Bright and happy cards, perfect for this grey time of year - well done, Barb!
Beautiful stamping!
Go to the head of the class, Barb. These are amazing. I may have to join in the class after all.
Love both of your cards, Barb! Isn't that class fun!
These are fabulous Barb! I also went for the shadow/offset stamping but I love what you did with the different colors! Awesome gradient stamping too! I tried but obviously I did not use the right inks! This is such a fab class, I am loving it!
I love both of your cards, Barb! Great color choices, especially during this dreary winter we're having, and honestly, I thought you used the die for the bow...it's perfect!
Great free hand bow...love your gradient card, it really is esmerizing. Those sweet flowers made me smile.
