CASology Week 40, Runway Inspired Challenge #34 and Addicted to CAS #11





Don't you just love the fabulous pop of red lipstick? One wee splash of color made this stunning creation go from Wow  to WOW with the stroke of a lip brush! She's also sporting some pretty fine looking shoes too!

I love the simple elegance of black & white. When I saw this challenge at Runway Inspired Challenge, I could not pass it bye! I'm also entering this week's Casology challenge, where the cue word is Word and also challenge #11 at Addicted to CAS where the code word is Flower.

Simple details:  Image is a $1 stamp that I found in a wee craft store somewhere in Tulsa, OK about five years ago (Autumn Leaves). The sentiment is from an Inkadinkado set. The paper (of which I am hoarding) is X-press It Blending Card Stock with Stazon Solvent Jet Black ink.

  3. Gorgeously CAS! Love the pop of red. Such a fantastic take on the inspiration photo! Thanks for visiting! Here's hoping that the sunshine comes out and starts to melt all the snow that is still hanging around. A little of ours melted today, but not nearly enough!
