My card today is for two challenges. I didn't get to play yesterday, had to buy a new answering machine. Then I had to hook it up. Boy, all that concentration really hurts your head. Anyway, I chose this card to case. Changed the trees, ribbon and sentiment, which I moved to the other side.
The CAS challenge is to make a sympathy card. I hate having to make those sad kind of cards. So mine just says So very sorry. Which I was this morning. I was awaken to a sound that at first I thought was a bird squawking. But birds don't usually sqawk at night.
Rosco went out to check out the noise maker, I turned on the back porch light and saw the water ripple in the pool. So I assumed what ever it was, was just getting a drink of water so I went back to sleep.
When I woke up later, I discovered a dead rat on the bottom of the pool. Apparently he had been hurt because he left blood on the pool deck. Yuck. So my card is for that poor rat who drowned in my pool. So very sorry.
Briefly, I took a white cs panel and sponged the hills and sky. Added doodle lines and grass to the hills. Stamped and clear ep'd the sentiment.
On a piece of acetate, I put some out line stickers of trees, colored on the back and front by accident, with copic markers. Layered this over the bg panel, added the ribbon then put it on a white card.......done.
Well hope you like my two challenge card....TFL :0)

I love this look. I agree with Annie Jo though about this card for the rat that died in your pool. Why does it get a card....and I don't!!! your trees look like suckers....lime and cherry. Yum!!! very cool. I do not understand the outline stickers either. some day I will get to see you and learn a lot!!! awesome scene, sis. tfs.

Lovely way to use those stickers on the acetate like that! I almost felt sorry for the rat, but then I started to think "what if he was on his way to give you some disease by munching on some boxes of food in your pantry?" Then, I decided it was best he met his misfortune at the pool... although, I'm not sure "I" could clean up a dead rat out of a pool like you can. I am touched you made the rat a sympathy card though, it shows your sweet disposition, and that is admirable! :o)
