CAS Mix Up April's Monthly Picks

Wow! We had so many wonderful entries in our Inlaid Die Cut Challenge!  We enjoyed each and every one. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us!

Our Top Pick for April

Marianne
(Marianne's cards 'n stuff)

Marianne's mix of white and colored butterflies with some inlaid and some not,

made for interesting texture and dimension and still maintained a clean

and simple design! The sentiment stamped on vellum is perfect as it doesn't

block any of the butterfly beauty!

Congratulations, Marianne
