I decided to do a bit of Spotlighting for my card, love this quick technique! This card WAS going to be somebody's birthday card, but I decided it wasnt good enough, lol! I always struggle with that though, thinking I could improve my card in SOME way, lol! OH well, guess we all pick our cards apart at times...right? Notice that awesome new color of cardstock? Yep, new one from Gina K!! It's called Lovely Lavender! LOVE it! The other new color is called Lemon Twist and its just as yummy too!
Ok, up next is Asela's newest set called Dream Birds. This is a super FUN and whimsical set and that is what I went with on my card, whimsical! Here it is:
The little clouds, all I did was freehand those and go around the edge with a copic marker in black to simulate a 'stamped' image. The sun is just a circle punch and strips cut. I colored it the way it is on purpose, I thought this gave it more of that whimsical look, you think?
Ok, onto more awesome inspiration!!
For a limited time, a free Card Kit will automatically be included with each purchase of the Spring Florals stamp set. The entire kit includes the stamp set, a binder sheet, the instructions and materials to make 3 complete cards for $19.95. For more details on the cards, please visit Jessica Fick's blog.

Hi Cat. About 5 hours ago I had just stopped by someone's blog and saw them mention CAS cards. I didn't know what they meant so I "googled" it and arrived at your blog in January 2009. I then spent the next four and three quarter hours looking at your blog backwards and then forwards! It was time well spent! Your creations are lovely! Warmest wishes Lesley
Love that whimsical card on the kraft cs--nice color choices!
