The theme this week at Addicted to CAS is Grunge. I tried to make something for this challenge yesterday, but couldn't quite figure out how to mesh Grunge with Clean & Simple … but today, I think I nailed it.
I started with fabulously grunge papers from Um Wow Studio's Nature Walk Collection (a big thanks to Um Wow for providing products for the Crafter's Companion USA design team). Next I stamped a round birthday sentiment from Sentimentals – Imagine using a combination of brown & black ink in keeping with my grungy feel.
The layout is this week's sketch from The Paper Players … I used a kraft background for the *white space* of my clean & simple design. I finished with a Nature Walk Element sticker, a Cosmo Cricket Label Sticker, and some Um Wow Chipboard Layered Stars.


It’s difficult to mix “clean” with “grunge” but I agree, you nailed it with this one! Love the colors, the stars and the perfectly matched sentiments…Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players!
What a great colour combo and DP balance, Stephanie … the wooden stars are a perfect finishing accent! Thanks so much for playing along with ATCAS! Anita 🙂
This is fantastic, Stef! Love the wood elements. Great design!
Hi Stef. Fabulous grunge card … and yes, you nailed it with your CAS card! 🙂 Love the mix of grungy papers and the colors are perfect. And love those chipboard stars! Thanks for joining us at ATCAS. Loll xx
Very cool, Stef! I think you nailed the grungy CAS look here! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Paper Players this week!
Stef, I love your grunge inspired take on the sketch. I also love the colors and the mixture of textures. So glad you joined us at the Paper Players this week
