CASology CUE Card #68: BLACK!

CASology CUE Card #68: BLACK!

This week's CASology CUE is BLACK

I thought of SEVERAL things, silhouettes, so I did a citys cape,

and I HAD to add a regional landmark of course!  

The SPACE NEEDLE!

What does BLACK conjure up for you?

We will be so happy to see what you come up with!

I thought also of blackboards and the current recently popular chalkboard effects.

 I finally did a card featuring this 

"Folk Floral" stamp I thought was perfect for a chalk board card.

On the subject of the Needle:

EDIT to ADD: 

Check out this adorable pic of my boy a few weeks ago --fun pic on the ferry!

He didn't think it was so funny, thus the face, until he saw the pics....

Lawnscaping Challenge!

I saw this card as I was pinning CAS cards.

I also adored it when I saw it CASED 

 by Joyce of  Cards-by-the Sea

And I really wanted to do it too.. alas I don't have the awesome new mamaelephant

set that was originally used.. 

When I saw Lawnscaping challenge for pinterest, I thought, 

what can I do? 

 I looked at my pin boards for leaves and wanted to do a graphic card.  

I saw this, and I thought -what about a tongue in cheek CAS of

Laura Bassen's card???!

This makes me giggle!

Supplies:

Lawn Fawn cozy Christmas set

Glossy Accents

Copics
