CAS-ual Friday Mini Card

The challenge this week over at CAS-ual Friday is to create a mini-card.   The only rules - must be 4x4 or smaller - and Clean and Simple of course!  It's funny..... this is one of those cards that I thought I already knew what papers and stamps I wanted to use, but by the time I finished, the paper was different and the colors I had started out with were totally set aside and different colors were brought in.   I really like the way this card turned out.

4x4 CARD


I used a new stamp with this one - Unscripted (C1465).  I used the 2x2 background stamp in chocolate ink to create the lattice print.  For the flowers, I used chocolate ink on the stamp and then wiped away the ink on each flower leaving the stem still chocolate.  I used a Pacific Exclusive Marker to color each flower.   The image is actually a small 'bundle' of flowers.  I felt I needed more, so I used the masking technique to add more flowers to the bundle.

Hope you enjoyed my card!

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measureme...
