Perfectly CAS - August Challenge

 

We have a new prompt up at the Perfectly CAS challenge blog.  This month we'd like you to incorporate stripes and/or dots on your card.  

Remember that the guidelines state that you should only use 1/3 of your card in the design.

 Being the overachiever that I am *wink* I opted to use both stripes and dots in my design.

I began but first stamping the trio of narrow lines along the bottom third of my card.  I used a stitching die to create the cut out circles that run parallel to the lines.  I die cut the bird in white, colored it in with Copic markers, adhered it to the bottom right of my card leaving just enough space for the tiny sentiment.  I felt like it needed a bit of embellishment so I opted for a few dots of clear glossy accents.  They add just a little without distracting from the focal point.  I would have preferred a smaller focal image but overall I think I kept within the 1/3 guideline for my design.

I invite you to visit our blog and hope you'll join us this month.  We'd love to see your card in our gallery!
