It started with a CASE...

Hey!

Wa-hoooooooo for the weekend! It couldn't come soon enough here; the first week of school is always a shock to the system!

Today I'm sharing a card that comes with a challenge that I seriously could not pass up on: CASADIA! The fabulous and fun idea by fellow, sweet, bloggin' buddy, Wida! This is basically one mega long CASE chain - check out the whole chain on Wida's blog here!

So as part of the CASE Study DT, it seemed to apt for me to throw my hat into the ring and play along. My turn has arrived and I have this fabulous card by Erin to CASE:

Check out the original post of this card here!

Those texty, (yes, I know that's not a real adjective!) clouds really captured my eye and so did Erin's paper piecing. In fact, I realised I had that Cosmo Cricket DP collection myself and challenged myself to use a different sheet from that pad (well, using any DP is a bonus for me! Ha!)

So clouds and paper-piecing turned into:

Tip: I inked one side of my frame from the set, Frame-It (Waltzingmouse Stamps) to create straight lines to hang those hearts from.

An anniversary card for my parents. They celebrated 44 years of marriage this week - amazing! I couldn't squeeze a sentiment on the front of the card I felt the card didn't need a sentiment, I can write what I need to write inside, right?! Although my punny heart would have loved to added the sentiment 'Love is in the Air'! *wink*

I'm also going to enter this card into the Moxie Fab Movement Challenge - the texture of the clouds separate them from the card base, and those simple faint lines from the clouds help guide your eyes to take in the whole of the focal point - I hope!

Before I dash to make the most of my weekend, I'd like to thank Wida for having me play along and for hosting such a fun idea! Thanks, Wida! :)

OK, I'm scootin' - this weekend isn't going to wait for me!

Catch ya later!
