Hi everyone, today’s cards are from a small batch of CAS one layer cards I made for hand delivery. I made them very similar except that I kept one completely CAS, and the other I added a bit more background stamping … not sure which I like the best! I think though I may be making a few more of these as the bauble stamp is ideal for quick makes.
I created a one layer card blank by scoring Pink Frog super smooth 30cm x 15cm card, then stamped the baubles using Strawberry and Green Oasis VFC. I stamped the foliage several times in the top corner using a mix of Shady Lane and Rainforest VFC, then shaded the baubles using Zig pens and Spectrum Noir sparkle pen. I hand drew the bauble strings with a fine liner, then added some background stamping to card 2 in Morning Mist VFC and the sentiment in Nocturne.
Here’s a closeup of each card.

So different between the two. Your hand drawn strings are so perfect to complete the look.
Certainly an ideal choice of stamp for this style of card and your hand drawn strings are perfect. I like both versions but on balance I think the CAS one comes first by just a small margin
Both beautiful cards, love all the stamping especially the baubles.

Both are beautiful cards but I tend to like the one with the background stamps. Thanks for sharing with us at PIP Challenges.
Very nice card. The temples are realistic and so is the color of the balls
Thank you for sharing your card with us at Make My Monday
Love both of these gorgeous bauble cards in wonderful traditional colours. If I was going to HAVE to choose a favourite - I think I’d plump for the first one, but it’s a close call!!! Xxx
