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.

Heather, what a wonderful scene and love your corners. These dh's just don't know when they'll have to shop for us, do they? Maybe when your birthday arrives, you can tell him how worn your stamps are (even if you've just used them once or twice) and he'll need to get you more. Think that will
work? Didn't think so.
BTW, Pam's meltdown will never be over. LOL
I know what you can call yourself in THE PUNCH PAL club: Punchmeister
Don't like that one?? I'll be thinking on another one for you. Love your wonderful card!

Happy Birthday! I love your new avatar. Geez, those glasses look somewhat familiar. I know I've seen them somewhere. Dont worry ~ it will come to me. I must say, dahling, you look divine in those all glammed up shades. I must digress, if only momentarily, to tell you I'm so glad you inked up this image. It's so perfect for a best friend. Not only that, but your WC is superb! It looks like a famous artist did this art! Such a beautiful card.
