A CAS card I made a little while ago, but forgot to post on my blog.
The flower die cuts are Lisa Horton's 'Beautiful Buds'. I layered them on Lisa Horton's 'Scallop Layered Square' mats. The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Humming Along' set of stamps. I finished off my card with a few tiny, yellow pearls
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
The style of my second card was made after watching a live video yesterday on Lisa Shaw's Nifty Noodles Crafting Facebook page. I decided to make a masculine card as I need a few masculine birthday cards in the next few weeks.
The patterned paper is from a Sara Davies 'Nautical Collection' paper pad. I used one sheet to cover the front of a 6 x 6 card blank, lining up the bottom right corner and cutting off the excess. I used a square die to cut out an aperture from the middle. Using a second identical sheet of patterned paper I covered the inside of the card blank, again lining up the bottom right-hand corner and cutting off the excess. When the card is closed, the patterns line up perfectly. The yacht is a Poppystamps 'Marina Sailboats' die cut. I lined up the yacht so it was just below the edge of the aperture when the card is closed. Three punched anchors and a layered sentiment finished off my card.

The feel better soon card is so bright and cheerful and I love the pretty floral on the layered rounded and scalloped stitched mats which is such an elegant look Liz, and the little pearls finish it perfectly. The second with the nautical theme is a super design with that fabulous paper and the aperture with your sailboat visible through it, and the lining up of the inside and outside paper looks great...love the anchor embellishments too. x
