Life is Good Butterflies...STAMPlorations CAS Card Challenge~Things with Wings Blog Hop & Linky Parties (May 1 - 31)

Hello,

This month, we're back to our 'regularly scheduled programming' of DT inspiration for the 5 STAMPlorations challenges, where the common theme is THINGS WITH WINGS. Today, I'm delighted to welcome you to STAMPlorations May 2018 CAS Card Challenge #26~Things with Wings. 

Along with a blog hop, we're also inviting YOU to play along in the Linky Parties...and yes, that is a plural! Plenty o' fun to be had!  All you need to do for this challenge:

Create a winged-themed CAS card


I'm a huge fan of STAMPlorations stencils and, discovering how wonderfully they emboss, have come to love them even more! So easy to create fabulous backgrounds with these with results that are, in my view, simply wonderful.  The recipe for this CAS card includes: Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies, Flutterby ARTplorations stencil (embossed),Life Is Good Phrase Die - CUTplorations (which I cut from a scrap of embossed-and-water colour cardstock that I 'nearly' threw away...keep those scraps! They come in handy!).


Swooning over the butterflies and yes, life *is* good!

Looking forward to seeing your THINGS WITH WINGS CAS creations in the gallery!
