Today's CAS challenge was to find inspiration in a song called Wings, sung by Little Mix. I was impressed with Denise's song choice, which had uplifting, motivating, encouraging lyrics. Great message to all of us.
NOTE that I got so carried away w/my background stamping and distressing that I kinda lost sight of lots of "clean" space! OOOPS! I hope since the colors are light and there isn't a lot of stuff added onto it, that my card will be okay for today's CAS232.
My card is also for JMasse's DTGD13 challenge.
I used one of the four sketches from the soon-to-be-released (8.6) MFT die-namics Blueprints #6 set.
I created my background using five layers of stamping with Ranger distress ink. I also used direct to paper, distressing techniques that I have developed through trial and error. Hee.
THANKS for looking!
