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.
