Happy Birthday to You – CAS on Friday #176

HI Everyone.

Happy Monday.  Well, today was supposed to be the start of my staycation.   MMMM… I ended up working all day, so was not able to get into my craft room.  However, I do have a card I made yesterday using the theme across at CAS on Fridays

I've used this set from SU several times with a softer, girly feel.  This time, I decided to add a little drama and use my colored pencils on black card stock.  SOmething I never do…. but think I will be doing again 🙂

I embossed the image using white embossing powder and then colored it with my Prismacolor pencils.  I added the black layer to a white background and then white embossed the sentiment onto black card stock.  Here's my card:

Happy Birthday to YOU CAS Fridays (1 of 1)

I love how the white and the colored pencils pop off that black background.  I really need to try this technique again with some other images.

I am hoping to get into my craft room tomorrow, and also to get outside to try and spot some animals/birds to take photos of.  I'll hopefully be back tomorrow with another card.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift – and stay safe.

Hugs

Jaydee
