CAS Birthday

I was happy to make this card this morning, as it:

• fulfilled the CAS Challenge #58 at SCS here, which was to use shades of green, brown and a neutral
• fulfilled the need for my nephew’s birthday card (and I think they really don’t care what’s on the front, just what’s INSIDE!)
• got some scraps off my desk that I had been pushing around for a while
• uses vintage images, which I love!

So here it is:

I wanted to incorporate the third image, a green birdhouse, into the mix, but somehow it just didn’t fit in, so I went with a larger square card just using these two images.  They are from the Graphics Fairy, printed on Very Vanilla and distressed with some Close to Cocoa ink, then mounted on a scrap of mossy green Christmas paper I had from yesterday’s card (the flip side!).  I added a big eyelet and a simple sentiment and off in the mail it will go!  Thanks for visiting today…..Dana & I are feeling better, although seeing sunshine would certainly do all of us some good.  Later this week—temps in the 60s!!  Yahoo!
