CFC #130: Ovals


Wow, what a great response to the first CAS-ual Fridays Challenge in the new format! It was so much fun looking through the gallery, but also hard to choose a favorite!



The next challenge is to make a project featuring ovals. Our sponsor is Pretty Pink Posh!


http://www.shopprettypinkposh.com/

For this challenge I knew I wanted to use the CASual Fridays Stamps Oval Tag Fri-Die. But I wanted something a little more different than an A2 card or a tag.



So I made a birthday fan! Each panel is an oval tag, secured in the middle by a button on either side. They are stamped with the graphic, open flower from Beanstalks and colored in with alcohol markers. I used a very light blue towards the center to keep it from looking too stark with the white background. 


The back is secured by ribbons, because ...



... it folds ...



... completely up like a real fan. You could do so much with a design like this. It's only limited by what you stamp on it. You could even do an entire scene across all the panels. And with the die it makes it so easy to do. 

You're not going to want to miss the inspiration that these talented ladies have waiting for you:


Can't wait to see your creations in the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge gallery!

Thanks so much for looking!

    This is such a fun idea, Kelly. It fits in a regular envelope but makes a big statement when open.
