CAS Sympathy

Happy Saturday lovely blog friends ~

Loving that it's the weekend!  I meant to pop back a couple of days ago and show you this...but...I'm so slack at taking photographs of my cards, and I'm really not that good at it...so procrastination is what I'm best at with the camera.


My hairdresser (of too many years to count) recently lost a grandparent and I wanted to give him something that wasn't too tizzy but showed that I was thinking of him.  This is a small 4x4" card with a 3.5x3.5" mat.  The little butterfly from the retired SAB set Bliss is stamped in Marina Mist, twice - on the mat, and fussy cut then popped up with a dimensional and a few tiny pearls.  It's possibly a little too CAS (would have been nice if the butterfly was a little bigger) but it did the trick.

Hope you're all having a great start to your weekend.  Canberra has blue skies and sunshine today and I've got a girlfriend here from interstate so we're going shopping!

I've got some other fun and exciting news to show and tell but will wait until next week to share.
