Don't you just love it when you see a challenge and know instantly which direction to go?
Well it happened with this week's CASOLOGY challenge! And now I have to confess, it was actually the moment I saw Ardyth's inspration card!
So ...Ardyth, thank you so much for sparking my imagination with your card!
I will also link my card to the CAS sponging challenge at Happy Little Stampers.
Well the 'spectacular' made me think: glasses... sunglasses !
The frame were cut with my Silhouette cameo, as well as the palm tree. The sunset was sponged using a variety of Tim Holtz, and Hero arts distress inks.
The sentiment is my own, and you are welcome to use it:


Thanks so much for visiting me today!

This is absolutely brilliant Hannalie. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Tropical card!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool card Hannelie! I've seen a lot of cards lately that are using glasses of some type, but can't afford to buy all those different dies. I just need to spend more time learning my Silhouette so I can create masterpieces like yours!
