CASology CUE Card #86: Blush!


CASology CUE Card #86: 
BLUSH

                    CASology.                  
          A Refresher:  CAS = Clean and Simple.          
   Minimal Layers, lots of empty space, and easily recreated.   


What comes to mind for you?
Blush on a rose, cheeks blushing, blush on a fruit, like a peach, 
Lovebirds blushing cheeks, the color Blush, a blush wine.
Shyness, a kiss.

I like to do a few cards and flush out my favorite.


Today I am trying to get more use of larger stamps 
that may have a full card coverage image, 
or multiple images.
If you have some too, take a new look at them, 
try masking off areas
or using a 1 inch square or circle punch to highlight a favorite
area of the image on the stamp.

Here is my favorite take.
The blush of the confession 
of sweet nothings.





This is the Large stamp with multiple images:



Take TWO and THREE.
The Blush of a Rose



Heartfelt Sympathy


Here is my MEGA Large Stamp by Magenta



Its cheeks on fire
Cooling in the mist
a Rose Bush blushes
A sight not to be missed.
When I was small,
a small. sweet girl
I made a sweet perfume
from the petals that curl.
Now trapped in the mad hustle
always in a rush
I smile at the space
where I kept this sweet bush.

I like all of the post. Too much to comment on individually, unless of course, you have an hour or two. Well done.

I love how you've shown that you can use supplies that are NOT CAS to make beautifully CAS cards! Well done!

Meghan said...

You really covered all the blush options! Love all the extras you include especially the poem this time!

A gorgeous trio, Kimberly! Love how you've interpreted "blush"! And love how you think outside the box - using a portion of a larger stamp is such an awesome idea!

May Park said...
