Well, it's that time again - a new challenge at Addicted to CAS, and this challenge has been set by me. Here's what I came up with:

Welcome Karen!
Whilst I was looking around for suitable images for this challenge I came across a digi postcard that I really wanted to use...........I could just imagine ladies strolling along the decks with their white parasols open shading them from the sun!!! lol

Anyway I've used my Spellbinders Mystical Embrace die, cut the postcard to size so it fitted in the central aperture and backed it with some dark blue cardstock. I've sponged around the edges of the die with Stampin Up Bashful Blue ink which makes it stand out from the white background of the base linen card. The sentiment is computer generated and punched out with Stampin Up Modern Label.
Please pop over to the ATCAS blog to see the gorgeous creations the rest of the DT have created. We're looking forward to come and visit you to see your lovely entries.
Happy crafting.

Great postcard and that's a wonderful Spellbinder die - not seen that one before but it sets off the image so well.

What a great idea to use that postcard! The die cut frame is gorgeous!! Thanks for a fun challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect, Karen. What a perfect way to recycle this postcard. That ornate frame is stunning!! xx
ReplyDeleteI couldn't comment yesterday either but see we are up and running again. I love the look of this postcard. Reminded me of the film Titanic! Not that your card is a disaster, just the scene. Your card is wonderful and the frame just sets it off xx
ReplyDeleteAhh, the elegant days of the great liners ... captured perfectly in your card, Karen ... the frame is perfect with that fabulous image! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLove the diecut frame Karen - so elegant, and perfect with the vintage postcard.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you and yours - hugs, Sylvia xx
What a fabulous design for anyone going on a cruise, Karendipity! Brilliant to use the postcard and that diecut really does evoke the days of strolling on the deck carrying white parasols! Imagine women being covered from head to toe and carrying a parasol. Not many skin issues back then! Great challenge idea ... I'm thinking, thinking ... Hugs, Dippy
ReplyDeleteYou're back!! Lovely card Karen that die is a fabulous frame for your vintage postcard. Don't think I'll be signing up for a cruise though:)
