CASual Fridays #88


The current challenge at CASual Fridays is Love Letters--use letters creatively 
in your CAS project. Here's my card.


I found a very old set of alpha stamps by 7 Gypsies that Kristina Werner 
enabled me to get several years ago. They're huge. And did I mention old?
I had to pry them off of the acetate sheet.
And this is the first time that they've touched ink.


I did some ombre inking with a technique that we learned in
Clean and Simple Card Making 2 then added some ink splatters and a bow.
Lastly, I rounded off just the right corner to mimic the roundness of the O.

Have a great week and thanks, always, for stopping by!

LOVE your ombre letters!! What a great feeling that must have been to pry your letters off knowing: 1) you didn't just rip them (which I've done on old sets that have never seen the light of day) and 2) you're finally using them!

This looks brilliant Donna! How funny that I've been thinking of a 'words only' card today. I was planning to use a HA set from a few years ago, Jo x
