Enjoy the Moment


Hello, happy hump day to you! 

I made a CAS (clean & simple) card today to enter in Embellish Magazine's Coloring Color Trends Challenge.   I colored my images with copics, sponged in some clouds with Hero Arts soft pool shadow ink (thanks for the tut Amy!) , and added a couple of pieces of DCWV adhesive paper border punch strips at the bottom.
Stamps: Itty Bitty Adventurous by Unity (air balloon), Popcorn the Bear Bundle of Joy (duck) , Papertrey Ink (sentiment).


Hope you're having a wonderful week, thanks for stopping by!

Now this is a very pretty CAS card, Shirley. The colors and your coloring are just beautiful, and I love how you added the blades of grass. The border strips adds a very nice and interesting touch. Just like you... so creative!
Hugs,
