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. :)

  3. 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!
