The CAS challenge this week is a colour challenge using green and brown and the Featured Stamper's gallery is mommylvs2stamp. And this was the first time this brand spankin' new stamp saw ink, I'm good for WT261 too.
In the CAS challenge write-up, Miss Boo asks us what St. Patrick's Day means to us. Well, since St. Patrick's Day is also my cake and candles day, it usually means presents! And these days that often means stamps! And on our recent trip to Florida and my day out on the town with two SCS friends, this lovely stamp by Art Impressions found its way into my basket (along with a few others) as a way of helping DH with his shopping for my big day. Sweet, eh? And I didn't have to wait to use them either! The gals even sang to me in the store to make it official...
Well, since I share my birthday with a dear friend from high school I made this card is for her. I CASEd this card from mommylvs2stamp's gallery for today's FS162 challenge. And since I'm pretty much convinced she was FS61, I'm claiming that challenge too!
Things I changed: the colour scheme; number of layers; used die-cuts instead of corner mats.
Image is watercoloured with SU crayons and an aquapainter. The house and flowers might push the limits of the green/brown challenge... And as for CAS, this is about as CAS as I get!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week.

Beautiful card Heather and great colouring. I love your new stamp - nice of your DH to buy it for your birthday.
Happy belated birthday. I've been MIA for a few days (too busy working and no time to play:( ). I hope you had a wonderful day and got spoiled big time.

This is so sweet, your coloring is beautiful, and now I realize we share a birthday! My maiden name is O'Brien, so you know I'm Irish, and my folks were tickled to have a baby on St. Patrick's Day ..... so "Colleen" I am! Happy belated birthday to you, and I'm glad you got to stamp-shop on your special day!!!
