Today's FS, Annacreations, has such a spectular gallery that it just calls to be CASEd. I chose one of Anna's earlier cards. As I worked on it w/ the cold wind blowing off Lake Erie, I just kept pretending that it was an ocean breeze. The ocean picture if from RN Magazine - they try to lure you to travel by posting ads by the sea!! But it lent itself to my card today. Here is Anna's card: Cut Out Sunset by the Sea by annascreations at Splitcoaststampers
I changed stamp sets, the cutout opening, the colors, added dewdrops & for now left off a sentiment. I used Generals chalk pencils & blended w/ Avon make-up brushes.
Anna, congratulations of being chosen today's featured stamper. You so deserve it.
Thanks for taking a look.

OMgosh... this is beautiful! At first I thought you had colored that ocean scene but what a great idea to use an add! Your image is gorgeous and colored perfectly. Love how it is cut out making an irregular shape for the cut out... great effect!

Karen, how fabulous! I cant believe how you cut part of your image out and then continued for a perfect square! So sorry to hear about your Lake Erie effects, but you would never know it's that bad from looking at this spectacular card. Sweet girl, what a fabulous card this is!
