sew what's new?

I am SO missing being in my craft room! I got a small amount of time in yesterday and just had to make something for the new CAS-ual Fridays challenge, to use text.

I had all of these embellishments already cut out and decided to put them all together on this card. The dressform and the tiny little heart were cut out from, get this, duct tape! I picked up this FABULOUS duct tape from Michaels and thought it would make a great accent. Cool huh?

I thought the one strip from the PTI newstrip background worked perfectly with the rest of the card. Look at the ad on the far right, convenient!

I also really wanted to try some black & white with a pop of coulour, enter orange! (Goes along with my whole creamscicle trail of thought lately!)

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. :)

    Oh I love that dressform in the houndstooth pattern! Although I've never used the duct tape on my cards, I have bought some at M's before for my nephew! He makes his own "wallet" out of duct tape!! Great CAS design Kasia!

    Houndstooth duct tape? At Michaels? Get out! It looks amazing!! I love the balance of black and white plus orange. I actually have that ribbon and should use it. ;)

    This is the perfect CAS card, and I'm not saying that because I'm partial to orange...*grin* Your snippet of texty BG is perfect with the houndstooth dress form. SO glad you joined us for CAS-ual Fridays and hope you'll play again!
