Addicted to CAS #29

Happy New Year to all Addicted to CAS lovers!
This month we are so pleased we have Nancy joining us as our Guest Designer!

We are here with our first challenge of 2014. This week our hostess is the very talented Loll. Loll this week has chosen 'die cuts' as our inspiration.


I was very tempted to go with a London City scene but thought perhaps you had seen too many of them from me! London will be back but for this week I went all French on you and created this:


For the background I used a Stamplorations mixed media stamp, randomly stamping it and masking it to give this faded look. I then stamped the Eiffel tower in 2 different purple inks and added my die cut Eiffel Tower with foam pads to give dimension. I was pleased with the way this turned out. It has actually already been posted as a thank you for a very gorgeous Christmas gift.

This week we are very pleased to have Deedee's digis as our sponsor who are offering our winner 3 sets of digital stamps. 
Before you get die cutting, check out the fabulous projects from our DT here and then join in the fun.

Great to have you all back xx

    Hi Sandie and happy new year. What a fabulous card, I love how you combined the stamped images with the die cut and the kraft card is a superb backdrop.As always a beautifully classy Cas creation ( try saying that after a few gins !)

    Sandie, I love the off-stamped images all concentrated in the same area, it works beautifully as a backdrop to your die cut Eiffel tower. Great card! Hugs
