CFS Reveal - Linked


 
Hi folks! We've got another set of dies here for CAS-ual Fridays, and this one features two linked chain dies. You may recognize it from a prior set. It coordinates with Lotsa Links so you can stamp on the die, or just use the die itself like I have here. This die is a great length to span the height of a card. On this card, it's inset between the two different patterned papers.

The sentiment is from Casual Comfort.
 



You can use the whole length of the die, or just use a few links. Here's an example of using just two links, cut in metallic silver, and folded around a piece of white card stock. The fold makes a large enough loop that you can slide a chain through it and use it as a charm on a necklace. Glossy accents fills the center (although I need to do a better job getting the bubbles out!)


Here's the back of the necklace. The asterisk is from a Dear Lizzy patterned paper. I like using good, quality paper when die cutting so you get those nice rounded edges.
   
Stay tuned for tomorrow where the last set will be revealed. More inspiration waits for you with the rest of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Design Team:
