this is happiness

hello *yawn*

after having monday off, i feel like it's got to at least be thursday...but alas, it's wednesday! ha ha! sometimes short work weeks are the longest! lol!

well, today i'm sharing a really fun card i made for the most current CAS(E) this sketch challenge! i LOVE the sketches of this challenge, and this one is no exception!


so FUN!!

so here's my take:


i used create a smile stamps for my card! i just LOVE that sleepy kitty from the comfy stamp set!
the images were colored with distress markers and then i popped up the kitty on the blanket to match the dimension from the wood veneers!

the sentiment is actually on the wood veneer and i love it! then i added some circle wood veneers to replicate a sort of bokeh look!


i LOVE the bright happy colors here! oh, and that background...? yeah! i used transluscent embossing paste and two different mists to create that aqua color! swoon - so FUN! love it!

so that's my card!
enjoy!
