Hi! I’m here with a quick post with a card for CAS(E) this Sketch #149 and CASology’s Week 173: Pretty.
I made a birthday card for my husband. His birthday is on the 28th. Here it is:
I inked up a leaf from my yard with some Craft/white ink along with red & yellow re-inker inks and 3 different Stickles colors and then stamped with it. I used Happy Little Stampers’ Everyday Sentiments on this card too. I’m very happy with how this turned out. I’m also going to play this at Word Art Wednesday’s Challenge #210: Anything Goes. I stamped a bunch of different leaves today, but I’ve put those away for another time. I have an unexpected date to go on!
 My husband is coming home early so we can go out for a walk. We have not had any alone time for a long while, so I’ll hide this card and go get my sneakers on. After the month we’ve had it’s going to be good to hold his hand and walk in the woods. Well, that’s it for me for now.
Thanks for stopping by!
XO
