Hello! Sharing a card I made earlier tonight when I spied a few minutes and I was actually feeling well enough. (I've been sleep deprived the past week, thanks to a very active almost-23-weeks-old baby girl in my tummy who's decided that it's her playtime when it's my bedtime!)
I managed to combine a few challenges too! I followed the current sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch and the cue word (flight) at CASology. I also saw that it's anything goes this week at the Simon Says Monday Challenge, and the "toppings" at Seize the Birthday is to make your own background. And lastly, I've been wanting to join in at Monika's birthday linky party. Monika is such a sweet girl and an awesome crafter! I decided to CASE her CAS card. My card's a little late getting to you, Monika, but better late than never, right? :o)
To make my one layer CAS card, I stamped the oriole (one of several birds I've illustrated and turned into stamps) and masked it before stamping my collage mixed media grunge background. I flicked yellow and red Inktense blocks with a paintbrush and stamped the sentiment.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to smile :o)
