Birthday with Red

Welcome to the new CAS challenge at the Outlawz. This week, Lori is our hostess and she's celebrating her Dad's birthday. His favorite color is red, so she's asking for birthday cards with red and of course in CAS style.

My card uses a new Die-cember die from Simon Says Stamps called Single Roses Wafer Dies. I never used this die before. I water colored the background by adding Salty Ocean distress ink to a acrylic stamp block and spritzing it with water. I then pressed the block to the water color paper to create the background. I die cut the roses and leaves in two different color card stocks and then distressed the edges with Fired Brick for the roses and Mowed Lawn for the leaves. The sentiment is from Birthday Greetings stamp set from Gina K stamped with my MISTI.
I am entering these challenges:

• Simply Create Too: use something new (die set from Simon Says)
• Stamping Boutique: use a die or punch
• Through the Craft Room Door: anything goes
• Addicted to CAS: red

I hope you will play along this week with the CAS challenge at The Outlawz. My DT sisters have made some outstanding designs. I hope you'll stop by to take a look. Thanks for stopping by here to see my card today. Have a wonderful Sunday!
