Celebrate Your Day!


 
 
Happy Friday!
 
Yeah!  It's Friday once again and I'm done with laundry and house cleaning, so it's time to play in my craft room!  I hope all is well your way today!  I had a chance to make this CAS style card and I'm entering it over at City Crafter.  Here is the inspiration photo we were to follow...
 
 
The challenge called for CAS style with neutral colors.  I began with a kraft card base, which I brushed with white acrylic paint.  I thought I could keep this card on hand for a masculine birthday.  I used some fun Crate paper with numbers on it behind the wooden Prima owls and bird.  Aren't they sweet!  I wanted to give them eyes, but it just didn't look right.  So, keeping with the simple and natural look was a good idea for this card.  I embossed the two panels for the wood grain look.  The sentiment is from Paper Sweeties.  And, wooden buttons with twine were added to finish off the card.  Well, that's my little simple card for today.  I don't make too many, but I know that I need more practice with them.  Ok, you take care and have a great weekend, hugs!
