I'm so glad they did! I am in love with this set, as it is totally different from anything that I own. However, since it IS so different, I have been finding it a bit challenging for myself to create with. Soooo, I have challenged myself to start working with it. I created a card for Friday's stamp camp that I will be sharing later this week using the large oval with all of the sentiments. Today our challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More is CAS, so I chose to use the little sailboat, along with the challenges at Dynamic Duos and clean&simple.
I thought these colors would be perfect with the sailboat, and I used the Dessert Option of embossing as well. This ended up being one of those CAS cards that I absolutely love! I love it when I love my own cards. It doesn't happen all that often but when it does it makes me smile. :)
Since I already had a sentiment on my image, I dry embossed a little strip that I thought looked like waves above my panel. I added rhinestones within the embossed strip to mimic the sketch. I really like the way it turned out. I love CAS cards. :)
