CAS-ual Fridays #30 and Make-it-Mondays #43

Today's post includes 2 challenges. I am playing along with CAS-ual Fridays Tic Tac Toe and Papertrey Ink's Make-it-Monday ribbon pleating. For these challenges, I created a card with matching tag.






First up is my card for CAS-ual Fridays. I chose the bottom horizontal row: stripes, orange and aqua. I love, love, love these 2 colors together so that made the decision pretty easy. I used my Linen and Canvas impression plate on the white cardbase for some subtle texture and I cut Summer Sunrise and Aqua Mist cardstock into 3 stripes. I broke out my Background Basics: Diamonds. I really love this stamp set and hadn't used it in a while. I stamped it in matching Summer Sunrise ink. The sentiment, from Big Bold Wishes, was stamped in versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I finished off the card with the largest die cut flower from Beautiful Blooms #2 stamped in Aqua Mist ink and added a button with twine.



Next up is the matching tag that I made for PTIs MIM technique of ribbon pleating. I used Tag Sale #3 die and Aqua Mist grosgrain. Thanks for looking!
