Let me show you my fourth Inspiration card for March 2016...
To make this card, I die cut the frame (using SSS Double stitched rectangle dies) and the branch (using Impression Obsessions - Bare branch die) on white card stock.

ATCAS #84 - Delicate

We are back with a new challenge at Addicted to CAS . This time the host of the challenge is very talented Ksenija and she has chosen the code word... DELICATE. A perfect code word with huge possibilities in terms of theme or stamp that you might wanna use... like a butterfly stamp. 
You will win a $15 Gift certificate from our fabulous sponsor Happy Little Stampersstamps
For me delicate reminds me of babies and their delicate touch :) So I decided to make a CAS baby card. Here's my card...
To make this card, I die cut the white panel (using SSS Stitched Rectangle dies) and a cloud (using Memory Box Cloud dies) On the card base, I added washi tape at the lower edge, stamped the baby feet on the cloud and sentiment on the panel (using ME Nursery Deco) and adhered it all on the card base. To finish the card I added some die cut hearts (from CFS Lovely links Fri dies)

Our DT has come up with some amazing projects this week. Pop over to our ATCAS challenge blog here and take a peek. I am looking forward to the challenge this fortnight and am very excited to visit your blogs. 

Have fun in creating CAS card :) and thank you for visiting my blog.
