You + Me

Hi everyone! Yeah! It's almost Friday. My daughter's half-birthday is tomorrow--since she has a late-December birthday, we've always had a  mini celebration for her half-birthday. To celebrate, on Saturday, we're taking the kids to a nearby amusement park. I'm thinking someone is going to need a long nap (and I'm not talking about the kids). ;)

If you have time this weekend, you can make a card for the new CAS-ual Fridays Challenge:

Nope, not food. The challenge is to make a CAS project with arrows. Instead of using traditional arrows, I went with a series of really large arrows:

It's not patterned paper in the background--I made that by stamping through a digital mask.  I used the Giant Chevron Knock-Out by Splendid Fiins and cut the mask in half. Then, I used a digital mist brush to create the pastel ombre.

After I printed the panel, I sprayed the paper with a real iridescent mist to give it some shimmer. I stamped the sentiment from Kelly Purkey/Simon Says Stamp and embossed it in gold. Here's a close-up:

If you would like to play along with this week's CAS-ual Friday challenge, the winner will receive a gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp:
