Addicted to CAS - Challenge #8 - WINGS

Happy Saturday everyone - hope you're enjoying the start to your weekend and are planning to join in the fun over at Addicted to CAS.  We continue to be amazed by all the wonderful entries we receive - you're certainly keeping us on our toes!

Our wonderful host for this challenge is Florence. Here is the code word that Florence chose -
This week we are sponsored by 

CHRISTINE IS OFFERING OUR WINNER 3 RUBBER STAMPS FROM THE CC DESIGNS RANGE OR 5 DIGITAL STAMPS OR YOUR CHOICE AVAILABLE AT ALL THAT SCRAPS!!!

Here is a little about the wonderful Christine -

All That Scraps has been in business since 2007 started out of our garage. Now we have our own line of rubber stamps and dies. We create cuties galore, if you like cute you will love All That Scraps.

 For my DT card I ummed and ahhed a bit and discarded some ideas and then came up with this:

I've used a parchment square pre-printed with watercoloured flowers - from my stash and I've had them ages so can't tell you where I got them from......... I've mounted it onto a scalloped square die cut which then was popped up onto a 6" square card blank.  I then fancied CAS(e)ing the amazingly talented Loll who made a copper maple leaf a couple of weeks ago - see her post here.  I punched the butterfly using a SU punch and then punched the tiny dragonflies using a small Dovecraft punch.  I then used my cooks blow torch on them to change the colours - but if you try this be careful because (a) they get very hot and (b) it turns colour very quickly............ so little bits of heat at a time is best.  The sentiment is Stampin Up inked with Pumpkin Pie.
Our sister blog at Addicted to Stamps and More is also looking for a CAS card this week, anything so long as its CAS so you have two chances!

Thanks for dropping by.  We can't wait to see what you come up with.  Happy crafting.
