This weeks CAS-ual Friday challenge is entitled “the long & short of it.” The challenge is to create a CAS card that is 4×9.
Well I like tall things (probably because I am so short) so I figured my card would be “tall” and then I of course thought of one of my favorite Lawn Fawn stamps that would be perfect for this “tall” card.
I tried out a couple new things on this card. I stamped it on canvas and used some microbead accents on the leaves. I adhered the microbeads with glossy accents, regular glue doesn’t seem to work as well with these as it does with glitter. The fat hemp cord gave me a time trying to wrap it around the top, but everything I had that was thinner just didn’t have the right look. So I cheated and adhered it to look like it was wrapped but of course it isn’t. It was messing up my lovely fringed edges so I had to stop fussing with it before I ruined my hard work.
And finally a fun Penny pic. She doesn’t normally eat breakfast with her toys but this morning was different. 🙂 Actually she left it there all night and just stood over top of it while she ate this morning. Silly dog!

Such a great card! Love the frayed fabric all stamped up with the vine image. The button and jute twine finish it off perfectly.
