CAS Note Cards with Vintage-Style Images

If you follow my blog and know my style...
you already know that I am 100%, hands down....
a CAS card maker...

Today's cards are truly a reflection of my CAS-iness.
(I said CAS-iness...NOT Craziness!)

The stamp set is Favorite Book....
by Artistic Outpost

I simply stamped the images out on linen textured card stock...
added a little bit of color each image with some subtle water coloring highlights....
then matted each image on card stock that I embossed
with a favorite embossing folder called Textile Textures.
The final addition to these CAS note cards 
was the addition of some tiny accents placed on each
with Nuvo Drops ...
using colors that coordinated with the water coloring highlighting on each card. 

The images from the wonderful stamp set are very sweet....
very vintage...
and very compatible with creating a CAS card



There are some nice details in each image....
Love the big bow in her hair...
her petticoat peeking out from under her dress...
and her Mary Jane shoes.



Such a sweet little face....



I see a future leader here....
so serious...
so involved in his book
great posture...
great "presence"...
very official..
very mature looking...




Isn't he adorable?
another sweet face...
Love the haircut
and neck tie/bow
and his baggy knickers



and there you have it....
a simple sweet stamp set 
and a simple sweet note card set
and as the saying goes....
"Sometimes....less is more"

Card loving friends....These sweet note cards are available at The Bellissima Card Shop as a gift boxed set of 4 cards
