CAS-ual Friday Challenge - Name That Tune

So I made it through another Monday!!  YAY!!  Hope the rest of the week goes as smooth as today did.  I couldn't wait to get home and make my submission for this week's CFC - Name That Tune.  Make CAS card inspired by a song.  Since Lionel Richie recently came out with an album of his greatest hits with a country flair - it brought to my mind one of my favorite songs of his - "Stuck on You".  I have loved this song since I was a child.  It brings back so many wonderful memories of my mom putting his albums on while cleaning the house - and I would sing along!  Good Times :o)  So - I that song inspired me for my idea for this weeks challenge.

I had some really cute alpha stamps that I hadn't used yet by Inkadinkado - and I inked up most of the alphas in Versa Mark and inked up my Hero Arts Kraft note card.  For the letter "U" - I wanted it to stand out - and so I inked it up in Lady Bug Red Memento Ink.  My letters I applied to some vellum card stock, and to enhance the red letter "U", I added strips of red card stock.  I did some faux stitching with my Uniball Signo Broad White gel pen.  Hope this card inspires you to listen to some Lionel!  :o)

See you soon!!

Happy Veteran's Day

This day we celebrate our veteran's as they have made the ultimate sacrifice.  Without them, we wouldn't have the freedom that we do.  God bless them all!

 Today's card features the beautiful bald eagle, another symbol of our freedom.  I actually had made this particular card for my father - in- law  for his birthday.  I have a clear stamp set from Mint Motif that has the polka dot design, and I stamp all over my cardstock with versamark ink.  I then spread red embossing powder all over and heat embossed it, and after it cooled, I took my crimping tool, and crimped it to have a wavy texture to it.  It is kinda hard to see in the photo, but just me, it is there.  I placed my stamped image of the eagle on real red cardstock, and used the ticket punch on the ends.  I then took my choc. chip ink and gave the ends a distressed look.  I finished it off with my birthday greeting, and delivered it with a smile.
If you know someone that has served for our country, please tell them thank you, and that you appreciate their time served.  Everyone has a blessed and happy day.
