I don't do CAS well. I just don't know how to make the image so special that it doesn't need any or much embellishment. Now some of you might not consider this card CAS, but I do and I am pleasantly surprised and happy to say that I LOVE how it turned out! When I saw the images that Tammy had planned for release this week, this little bee just stole my heart. He's called "Vintage Bee" and can be found with several other images including a cute grasshopper in the A Day For Daisies shop. I had to do him twice cause I messed up the stippling the first time. I really like how it turned out on this version.
This release coincides with our new challenge at A Day For Daisies blog. We want to see "script" combined with an ADFD image. As you can see, I included some text paper underneath Mr. Bee. Hope you'll come join in our fun!I'm still in the process of having to reload everything back onto by brand spanking OLD new computer. LOL Yep, that nasty old virus ate it up so it got wiped clean. Fun, fun I tell ya. :-) On top of that my cable connection is playing hide and seek. I'll come visit as best I can.

You have my sympathy Tracy. I've just been reconnected again after nearly a month with no connection and it was not fun.
Love today's card - the colour combo and papers are fab and your colouring as always is outstanding.
Hi Tracy,
I really love how your CAS card turned out. The papers are one of my favorites and your coloring is perfect (as always), especially the stippling.
Hugs, Anja

This is FAR from CAS, girl, but I absolutely love it to pieces! It's making the top of my list for a fave of yours! LOVE that paper-pieced background, and you really rocked that sweet bee! Yum!
Amazing card! It doesn't matter what colors you use, they always turn out looking fabulous! Hugs
I totally agree, Tracy - I love this too! I struggle with CAS (in case you hadn't noticed!) but this is just gorgeous. I love the way it all blends together, like it was meant to be (or bee?). xx
Beautiful card, Tracy! I wouldn't say CAS, but I would say fantastic!
Oh Tracy your card is simply gorgeous,love how you make the spots on the image!
Just a wonderful card!

Really beautiful card, Tracy! I love that MME paper and love your "CAS" design. :) That bee is truly adorable. I can see why it stole your heart. Love the stippled background and the coloring!
Oh but this really IS CAS Tracy, Clearly A Stunner! Ha, bet you didn't know that abbreviation yet, did you, lol! Your choice of colours is spot on, as always, and your layering fantastic, I'm a fan! Hugs, Ira

This card is so classy and beautiful! I love the design and combination of lovely papers! Everything fits so perfectly! Spotted your card on MIM.
Such a pretty card. I am liking the bee image. Good luck with reloading your computer my friend. NO FUN I am sure.

Oh, my!! Love it! I like all the DP papers you used and the bumble is really cute - love the glitter wings! I really like these images and I also love the Cotton Candy images too! I am trying to use what I have for awhile but it is so hard to contain myself - :) Hugs
I love this card Tracy! You do all styles so beautifully....the image looks really great especially with that speckled background. Just adds the right touch to draw your eye! :)
Great job on your CAS card, Tracy. I have the same problem with CAS cards. LOL Love the stippling effect.
Hope your computer woes are behind you now.
Have a great weekend.

Terrific!! I just love how you did this ... such a lovely bee
Really nice colouring on the bee, great card!
I wondered how the computer issues were coming along...one day at a time...you'll get there! Love the card. No, it's not what I consider CAS, but it is beautiful! I think you are just so accustomed embellishing everything so beautifully, that you think it's not good enough, or complete, when you don't,... because your images are ALWAYS nice enough to stand on their own, Tracy!! Can't believe you could even say that!!! (a journal wrapped in tissue paper, and now those kinds of thoughts about your talent...am I gonna have to come down there!?!...don't make me come down there!!!) Love this card!!!
So lovely this card! Hugs Anneke
love your card, tracy! the vintage bee is fab! great layers and colors. thanks for sharing and have a great weekend, my dear friend! *hugs* and much aloha, steph :)
Oh girl, I have been playing hide n' seek with blogger the past few days and I am fairly certain I can confidently say I do not like this game Sam I am..not with a frog, not on a blog, not in the smog..not not at all! But thank goodness the Internet saw fit for me to see this glorious CAS card from you. Your bee is the bee's knees. Did I ever mention that both my kid's names start with B so I refer to myself as the "B keeper!" :) You nailed this card with divine crafts(woman)ship!
Hugs 2 you H,
