CASology 180: Open

This week at the CASology challenge blog, we're hoping to spark some interest 

with the cue card: OPEN. What a...well...open concept :)

I knew I wanted to stamp into the open space, but how to add interest was the challenge. 

I took my swivel tip X-Acto blade (this tool is in regular rotation for me) 

and cut the heart out...eek, that doesn't sound nice lol. 

I popped up the entire card front and stamped the sentiment 

on some red cardstock to layer behind the open heart. 

I really like the depth it created on this CAS design.

If you've followed my cards, then the dotted coloring technique 

on this cow should look familiar :) The body of the cow is colored

using W1 and I used a few Es to color the spots. I love how the dots 

give some texture that's a bit against the grain of regular coloring. 

R-colored hearts finished with some Star Dust Stickles (another fave) 

and you have a cutie patootie CAS card.
