Creative Belli Challenge #139

Greetings my friends!

Happy hump day!  Only two more days until the weekend, yay!  I hope you're having a good week.  Things here have been pretty mild, and manageable.  I hope they continue to stay this way for a bit.

I have another Creative Belli challenge to present to you.  This challenge is CAS.  If you know me, you know I have a hard time with not wanting to add tons of stuff and layers, so this challenge was difficult for me.  For all of the details, click HERE.


I have been wanting to try this type of focal panel for a while now.  I think it turned out pretty well.  I love the CAS look and the vibrant colors.  I have to admit the only thing I'm not thrilled about is the bow.  It just didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, and I messed with it so much, I got frustrated with it and left it. lol  Anyway, I'm sure someone at church won't mind the bow at all. :)

I've combined the following challenges in my card today:

CAS-ual Fridays #43 - CAS (with the sentiment as the focus)
Fabulous Friday Challenge 3/9 - Kraft Paper

I hope you'll head over to check out what the other Belli Girls have created for you today.  Pretty fabulous, as always!

Hugs!
