Here's my card for the CAS challenge to be inspired by the word PARTY!
A friend at work asked me to make a birthday card for her father - he's turning 75 in January - she told me she still calls him Daddy and that he has always liked to fish -
This wonderful Norman Rockwell-like fisherman is from Rubbernecker.
See how the shirt looks plaid? first I colored it with Copic YG11 (pale green) then I drew lines with E35 (light brown) - I love how it came out!
The "Daddy" stamp is from a Father's Day set by See D's (really old!) and the 75 is from a numbers b'day set by Clear Art Stamps (no name on the set)
Once I had my design figured out - this worked up really quickly - It was really easy coloring this great fisherman and I just stamped and punched the sentiments adding some sponging around all the edges!
I hope my friend's 'Daddy' likes his card AND has fun at his party!

What a great card for her father......I called mine Daddy until he dies 5 years ago. Old habits. Love the plaid!! (Mom will be 89 on the 27th!)
