Perfectly CAS May challenge #27

 hello crafty stampers and welcome to another perfectly cas challenge! 

This month we have the theme: Distress. Our talented team have put together some beautiful cards and we can't wait to see what you create! Just remember to use no more than 1/3 of the card space for our challenge. 

I began with a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 in card base and rather then using the 3x3 grid, I calculated 1/3 of the area - about 7 6/8 in. I chose a Paper Rose Stitched Rectangle die which is approx 1 7/8 x 4 inches which is just a little smaller than 1/3 of the card panel. Perfect!

I began with some ink blending using a honeycomb stencil then splattered it with water for some texture. This was die cut with the rectangle die and the edges distressed with some scissors. I stamped the foliage with distress oxide ink and die cut them with the coordinating die set. The sentiment was stamped, trimmed and popped up on foam for dimension.

As a note, 1/3 of a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 in card base is also:

circle = 3 1/8 in diameter

square = 2 6/8 in sides

Thanks so much for spending some time with me today - we can't wait to see your card in our gallery!

Till next time, take care x
