My card is another CASS card. It was totally CAS and then I had to add some liquid pearls... and embossing ... and ribbon and pretty soon it was still clean but only {sort of} simple! {grin} It's so hard not to pile on all the fabulous embellishments that are just calling my name! LOL Anyhow, my idea for the card was mainly to just have fun playing around with the new dies. I wanted to try the Arrow Die as an inner mat for the Pennant Trim Die. It worked beautifully. I just layered the arrows over the pennants, snipped off the ends and then used the leftover part of the arrows for an accent on the card. How cute is that? I cut the pennant trim down to just 6 pennants and then layered the Flourished Trim Die over it and added a bunch of silver liquid pearls to my die cuts.
The image and sentiment are both from the Treasured Words set. The baby carriage is colored with Copics and punched out with 1-1/4" and 1-3/8" ircle punches, then layered onto Scalloped Flowers die cuts. I finished off by embossing the polka dots on the card base and then adding a pool party seam binding bow up top.

I am really excited about tonight! I love how you used the extra arrows, those liquid dots are some GREAT accents!
The excitement just keeps building! Can't wait for tonight's release. This sweet baby card is a great showcase for so many of the new dies!
Adorable card. I love the spotted background and the Liquid Pearls.
Oh Julee, this is gorgeous! I would still consider this to be pretty CAS too :)
Clever use of the arrow dies - so many uses for all these new dies :)
awe so cute... love the color combo... Thanks for sharing
I *love* the different way you've layered the dies. I like the layered Pennant Trim one, of course, but the layered flower one is wonderful! I'm always looking for an extra outside layer when I use my 1 1/4 & 1 3/8 punches!!
