I’ve been diligently making my husbands’ birthday card… and hiding it everytime he walks near, that’s when the kitten isn’t walking over my papers, or lying directly in the middle of my workspace or playing with my pens… times sure are funny!
I decided to play with a couple of challenges, I was inspired by the current ‘Distress Mania’ at Lawnscaping Challenges and then I made a ‘simpler’ (I think I just made up this word) version for the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays ‘Jest for the Pun of it’! Kathy from the The Daily Marker has this awesome tutorial on how to make a ‘moon’ using copics, I used distress inks for mine combined with copics, thanks for the fantastic lesson Kathy!
And here’s my CAS version for CAS-ual Fridays.
Other Supplies: Pencils – Faber Castell Polychromos – Light Green, Yellowish Green, Chrome Green Opaque. Copics – T0,2. C5,7,9. R20,29. Y17,35. Colorless Blender. ColorBox Chalk – Baby Blue. VersaMagic – Aloe Vera, Hint of Pesto.

You moooved me with your cards, Theresa! (Sorry couldn’t resist lol!) Love both the cards. Great take on CAS-ual challenge. Great sponging and the cow is adorable.
BTW: I am honoured that you asked to CASE my card 🙂 Cannot wait to see your version of it 🙂
Both cards are adorable Therese! I can relate to your story of your husband walking by while you’re making his card. That has happened to me so many times! I keep a sheet of paper nearby to quickly hide the card!!!
Um, wow! This is fantastic! I LOVE the scene you have created!!!! THE MOON is fantastic? I love the ground. It’s fab!!!!!! And the CAS card is fantastic! Love the blue behind the cow!!! Thank you so much for joining us at Lawnscaping this week!
Who would have thought a cow could be so cute!!!!! Love both your cards though the second is my favourite ! Hope the man in your life enjoys his card too!
Oh, these are fabulous, Therese. They are both great but I love the CAS one with the gentle sponging and all that white space.
So fun Therese… I actually love both versions.Your distressing is is fantastic 🙂
