Make It Monday,CASology

I added a bit of shimmer tulle behind this
but the shimmer doesn't show in the photo.

The challenge was to carry the stamping and decorating to the inside of your card




I only had to take a million photos to get this one, 
and it's not even that great! UGGGG!
I love the delicate font of this sentient.

 CASology theme is leaves. I have already made many fall card with leaves . After I received a beautiful gift in the mail , I knew I would be using holly leaves.


Yesterday I went out late to get my mail. I had a wonderful surprise waiting for me. 
My friend Cathy: EmptyNestCrafter sent me this gorgeous die from Serendipity Stamps
She noticed I have been using them a lot lately.   I was so excited, it's a gorgeous delicate die.  I have been the recipient of many gifts from kind friends. I feel so blessed.
Thank you Cathy !


I always line the inside of my cards with a thin linen paper. Most people I send cards to like to save them. Some have told me they resend them. I only put a bit of tape on the back so the inside layer  can easily be removed.  

Paper : Papertrey ink Rustic Cream and Rustic White
Stamps: Papertrey Ink ,Think Big Favorites #20 and Paper Inspirations 
Dies : Papertrey Ink, Holly die
Impression Plate is from Papertrey Ink Canvas Linen
