The Outlawz Sunday CAS Challenge


I had so much fun with the Outlawz Sunday CAS challenge last week that I had to play again.  This week it's "You're Die-namite" (use a die cut) and I got a chance to finally use my Suburbia Cricut cartridge.  I really think the fun retro silhouettes really lend themselves to the CAS style.  It's been so warm the last couple of days that I was actually thinking about pulling out my bathing suit, so I chose the bathing beauty for this one.  In keeping with the CAS style, I have a lot of "white space" but embossed the majority of it with the Tim Holts Rays embossing folder.  I thought the black Alpha Beads balanced the black silhouette and the black peel off line sort of grounded her, as if she were sitting at the edge of a pool and dipping her toe in the water.  It also hid the cut between the embossing and the computer generated sentiment.  Kinda fun, eh?
