CAS Heart with Butterflies

Hi Lovelies..

Firstly, apologies as I'm a bit slow getting going this year - I'm a little overwhelmed with the goodies I have in my craft room (yes, I admit it!)... I get in there, and don't know what to make!  Does anyone else feel like that?  I see fabulous YouTube videos, and lots of Instagram posts - and my poor brain is saying 'well you can't do it all' - so I end up struggling to make even one thing!

Anyways..  I've made a few CAS cards for today - using a gorgeous little die that I got from Amazon.  Firstly, I die cut the heart from a stitched square die cut panel.  I stamped a small sentiment while the panel was still flat.

I needed an effective background, so did a little smooshing in pinks and purples, with lots of gold too.  I used foam tape to lift the heart square panel away from the background, then adhered the smooshed panel to the foam tape.  I adhered the stitched square panel to my card base then finally added a tiny gem onto the smooshed panel.

For my second card, I used lilacs and purples for the smooshing.

Card Info:

Dies - Heart/Butterfly, Lil' Inkers Stitched Square

Sentiment - Clearly Besotted Fancy That

Distress Oxides for smooshing

Hope you like my cards today - quite often creating something CAS can bring back my mojo.. hopefully that'll happen this time!

Happy Crafting...
