How fun is this cupcake thief? I think I could find myself falling into her line of work very easily. LOL
This week at Mo's Digital Pencil my super sweet AND talented DT sistah, Anja, is our hostess and she's asked for "CAS" cards. Yikey poo! You guys know that I am in the process of learning to do CAS well with my TSG projects. It's definitely an ongoing thing and NOT something I practice on my Mo cards. These are the ones where I raid every drawer of my stash and have a card that's rarely under a 1/2 "-3/4" thick.
I picked the "Cupcake Thief" because I thought it could carry the card all by itself. I have to give credit where credit is due and tell you that a LOT of my inspiration for this card came from two amazing card makers and they are polar opposites of one another in style. The first is Alice Wertz. This lady is a perfect example of a signature style. I never have to guess about who made her cards when I see them. Her style is unique and I sooooo admire her work. She has the ability to make every image she uses carry her cards all by themselves with very little embellishment. You can see her version of this image on a card here.
The second artist is Vili. I just found her blog recently and have been filling up my "Inspiring Cards" Pinterest board with her creations. She uses some of the most unique layouts and designs on her cards and her coloring in out of this world. I got my design idea for having the image on both panels and some of the coloring ideas from her card here.
I know most of you who visit here are not normally CAS card makers, but we'd love for you to challenge yourself and join in the fun at Mo's this week. Just use a Mo image and if you don't have one pop over to Mo's store. You can definitely find a thing or two...or three that you'll love.

You have sent me off to discover two fabulous blogs...both styles are exquisite and seeing this same image on three different cards was just amazing. I absolutely see where you got the inspiration from and I am just THRILLED with how fun and whimsical this card is. I love the CAS style with the small touches of piercings and the split cover of color and white. It's a fantastic layout and your coloring of the image just steals the show! AWESOME card Hick and you need a partner in crime for this gig...call me up!! LOL

Beautiful card Tracy! I love that Mo's image and you have colored it amazingly. Thanks for sharing Alice and Vili's blogs, amazing inspiration. Hugs, Ivonne
Oh, wow! How absolutely adorable! This is too cute, Tracy! Love that little cupcake thief! And love your CAS design (well CAS for you!) I love how you placed her going over the edge of your cardstock onto the patterned paper. Makes it look like she's almost gotten away with it! ;)
Can't do CAS - phooey! Nailed it - big time!!! Love, love, love this :) Have already seen and pinned Alice's fab stuff and I'm off to check out Vili's blog now. The style and design of this is just superb but your awesome colouring just takes it well over the edge :)
I'm with Dawn on this one Tracey...you nailed it!! Love how the image goes onto the DP (which is perfect for this). Will have to keep that in mind for future use :) Your colouring is amazing as always.

Gorgeous card Tracy. Amazing colouring and I love this image!
Thanks for joining us at Divas by Design.

Your colouring is so outstanding that you could put only the image on the front of the card and still have people in awe. This is a gorgeous CAS card. The DP is so fun and whimsical and I love the chocolate band of colour separating the two parts. Your thief is adorable and those cupcakes so pretty. I would have to steal them, too. love the little tabs. Great details and yet still clean and simple.
Love this adorable image and your fabulous coloring and design. Thanks for playing with us over at Loves Rubberstamps!!!
