Yesterday's card took on a life of its own. Have you had that happen? I started out being inspired by a CAS challenge but my card kept evolving to the point where it was not my definition of CAS. Sadly, I didn't realize what had happened until this morning when I was reading blogs in my blog reader (yes, my own blog is in my blog reader!) I looked at the card - I still liked it - but I cringed when I realized I had submitted it to a CAS challenge.
So this is Take 2! The Paper Smooches Scooter set was still out on my desk, but I took it a different direction.
I did some surgery on the squirrel just like on yesterday's puppy. The squirrel is intended to hang normally so his tail actually goes straight down. I snipped it off and angled it for a little more upside-down, sideways momentum!!
The other fun thing on this card is the Pretty Pink Posh Nature Embellishment Kit. The mix of sequins, the wood veneer stars and the twine are all part of the kit. There are also clothespins, ribbon and another twine. I am so totally matchy-matchy, it's nice to have a bag of embellishments that work so well together!
Just like yesterday, this is for Addicted to CAS and Paper Smooches SPARKS.
- Stamps: Paper Smooches Scooters, Hang Ups (squirrel), Chit Chat (amazing), Word Salad (dude), miscellaneous alphabet set for comma and exclamation point
- Paper: scrap of diagonal stripe
- Ink: Memento black and Copics
- Accessories: Paper Smooches Scooters die, Pretty Pink Posh Nature Embellishment Kit
