Hi! I’m very excited to share some cards with you today that were inspired by CASology’s Week #174 cue word:
I had a lot of fun making 4 cards that were inspired by this week’s cue word. All stamps and dies are from Papertrey Ink.
Here’s the 1rst card:
I used this owl photo as inspiration.
As is a trend with me, I had several ideas for different versions of this card. As I stamped, I kept getting an idea for another card! I have to say that can be distracting. Maybe I should keep a sketch book handy so I can scribble down ideas and not distract myself! ๐
Here is my 2nd idea:
The 3rd idea: (I’d like to play this one at CASology this week.)
The 4rth version: I’d like to play this one at SSS Wednesday’s Simon Says Anything Goes and Word Art Wednesday’s week #211: Anything Goes.
When my friend, Cindy,ย and I were visiting over Skype on Thanksgiving Day she suggested a slight change to this 4rth card. So, I have plans to change itย a little and make a 5th version! ๐ Maybe I’ll do that sometime this weekend.
Thanks for stopping by!
XO
Melissa

Two very clever cards, love the first one and love how you’ve partly cut the border die to make a feathered breast, brilliant.
Thank you for joining us at Simon says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
