It Is That Awesome

My oldest child has been saying some pretty grown up things lately, using words that I wouldn't really expect. Something like "What a coincidence" or "That is very irrational". Sometimes they are said in context, sometimes not. There are times, though, that he is still very much a nine year old boy. We often here "It is that Awesome!" preceded by a "wow" and followed usually by the endearments "mama" or "papa."

There's a round of applause going on at CAS-ual Fridays Challeng Blog! The new challenge is to create a clean and simple project that celebrates an accomplishment and features at least one circle. This week's sponsor is CAS-ual Fridays Stamps! I invite you swing on by the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog to see the amazing inspiration from the Girl Fridays, read the challenge rules and find out more about this week's challenge and prize.


My card today started out with a yellow card base (Yes, you really are here at The Bald Dragonfly!) that had been altered with a few droplets of spray mist. I then added three layered rows of washi tape on the bottom and stamped the sentiment four times, each time moving to a lighter shade of yellow. Do you like the sentiment? It is a sneak peak of a January Release from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps! Now...I'm writing this post and thinking out loud...did I break the rules? Are dots considered circles?

Today's Tip: If your comfort zone includes white, kraft or cream card bases, break outside of it and embrace color! Experiment with the same shades or hues, and saturation of the color for added interest in your design.
