Thinking of You (Crafty Secrets stamps)

Hello, everybody!  The Crafty Secrets October Linky Party is now underway, and this is a challenge I don't like to miss!  Everyone who enters is a winner!  Why don't you come over and join me!  My card features a clear stamp and sentiment from the Sing for Joy clear stamp set, which I stamped in purple.

I also wanted to play along in Colette's Cosmic Colours Challenge, so I used three of the colours in the swatch shown below.

Cosmic Colours Challenge #6
Produced Hues 3 - Design Seeds

I have been trying my CAS style lately and it's like going back to my roots.  When I first started stamping, I only made CAS cards.


I used a tiny circle die on the top of the tag and then used a punch to make a smaller hole to tie the ribbon.  I also used a punch to make the corners of the tag. I trimmed the sentiment banner by hand. Except for the white card base, all the cardstock and dp was in my snippets folder, left over from other projects.  The ribbon is Offray.  



Here's a photo of the Sing for Joy clear stamp set:

    I love that Crafty Secret stamp set "Sing for Joy" and it's cute bird stamps. It looks especially good stamped in purple and you can't go wrong with the clean look of CAS. Thanks so much for joining us at Crafty Secrets October Linky Party.
