CAS-ual Friday -Bring on the Bling

I am hooked on the weekly CAS-ual Friday challenges! I love looking through the entries to see all the clean and simple inspiration!

This week the theme is:

Before I share my creation for this challenge, I need you to do a few of things:
1) Raise your left hand
2) Twist it back and forth
3) Sing the chorus of “Single Ladies” (uh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh…)
Ok…now that you’re in the spirit,  I can share the card!
Nothing says bling like a big ol’ diamond ring!!!
So, that’s my clean and simple take on this week’s challenge!
Thanks for stopping by for some Damask Love!
Supplies:
Stamps: PTI Mat Stack 2
Ink: Ranger Archival Jet Black
Paper: PTI (Aqua Mist, Stampers Select), Michael’s (Gold paper, Glittered cardstock)
Other: Michaels (Rhinestone adhesives), Nestabilities Standard Circles

Keep on crafting with these other posts
