Because there's a brand new year almost upon us, I wanted to make an exuberant card. Of course, it's CAS but hopefully joyful nonetheless :)

I used a brand new Christmas present to make the drops...my new Silhouette Cameo! I used to own a Cricut, but this machine is much better so far. The biggest plus...no cartridges! I can't wait to have some more fun with it. 

After I cut the drops, I embossed them with a damask Cuttlebug folder for a little texture then I affixed them to the base. Add a sentiment, et voila!

Time for a new CR84FN challenge!!! Hope all my US peeps are having a fantastic Memorial Day weekend. In Canada, our long weekend (Victoria Day) was last week.

These colors are AMAZING!!!

I don't make many Halloween cards but these colors just screamed (get it?) Halloween.

I saw a pic on the web of a harlequin pattern using these colors and thought it would make an awesome background. I used an argyle stamp and used by trusty ol' Copics to color it up. Then I used a scrap of muslin, soaked it in colorless blender and patted it on the argyle pattern. I think I over-soaked the muslin - I was going for the pattern of the muslin but ended up with something a bit more blotchy. I still kinds like it :)
