Walmart Special

Sorry I didn't make last week's challenge folks, I was on a bit of a break, but I'm back this week for a fantastic sketch from Karen, our hostess for September at CAS Colours and Sketches.  It's such a CAS classic that I just had to play along

 I have moved the circle over to the right side, but apart from that I've pretty much stayed with it

My inspiration came from a couple of 97c bargains I had from Walmart, a ribbon and a matching stamp. Walmart- what a shop! Everything under the sun under one roof!  If you live in the UK as I do you may not know Walmart - well it's the biggest supershop EVER, think Woolworths the size of the french hypermarkets! We loved it and bought most of our holiday souvenirs from here - candy, biscuits, clothes, stuff for halloween and of course crafting goodies for me!


I chose a red and cream combination, picked up from the ribbon. The stamp was inked with the new Crushed Curry shade, isn't it vibrant! I scored the edges of the red mat to add finish without adding more to the sketch. I will leave the sentiment and then stamp inside when I know who it's going to.
Have a look at the other cards from the DT, if you like CAS this is the challenge blog for you. Really looking forward to seeing all your cards.

  2. I have shopping envy! We went to one in Florida but it was many years ago and they didn't have craft stuff. I would love ribbon and stamps for 97c - fab bargain and an awesome card! Kx

  4. I love the butterflies and the scoring!
    As an American, your enthusiasm for Walmart amuses me. :) Yes, they do tend to have some great deals on a wide variety of products. I'm just not particularly fond of our local store, so I try not to go there.
