CASology celebrates 5 years!

SO VERY EXCITED TO JOIN YOU ALL!

My first design team was CASology, 

and I'm so very

happy that I have retained 

my friendships and will

always consider these wonderful 

ladies paper

 crafting buddies!

The CUE for this momentus occasion, 

is BALLOON

JOIN HERE!

 I die cut 3 balloons and on a 4x3 panel I sponged Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide

and then spritzed some water.

Added my Sentiments 

and copic colored the die cut balloons.  

On one balloon I inked up and 

added a funny face from 

the Lawn Fawn Set Sweet Smiles.

 Adhered the balloons with foam

 mount and hand drew

 a few dangling strings.

The HUBBY really likes this card..

So it's a win for me!

 

There are so many prizes and 

companies joining, Yippee!  

Awesome

Job Melissa!
