I still find very 'simple' CAS cards like this one difficult - I've the urge to add some doodled borders or some ink splatters ;)
These cute little owls are from Catsonappletrees - I added some clear gloss to their eyes and then some googly eyes to the bigger one. I also added some clear gloss to the kite, after covering it with my clear sparkle pen. Bling from Taylored Expressions. Sentiment from Eat Cake Graphics:
8151-D Happy Birthday (fun text)
- General layout based on Jenni's beautiful card over at Muse challenge #179
- Crafting When We Can #125 - things with wings
- Creatalicious #97 - black + white + 1 (pink)
Now, this little kitty card just makes me happy :) Isn't it great when a card turns out like you imagined it - doesn't happen to me very often!
My kitten, mouse and dream bubble are from MFT - coloured with watercolour pencils. I covered the 'dream' with several layers of my clear sparkle pen, so it's lovely and glittery. Background splattered with pink and grey, and then a few sequins/stars. Doodled border.
- Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - make for the border
- Pile it on #114 - make your own background
- Cats only #9 - furrything goes
- CASology #211 - dream
And finally .... a special request 18th card. I need to get me some more grown up teen type stamps - any I had in my stash involved birthday cakes or drink, and on this occasion they just weren't suitable.
Anyway, I've ended up using this girl from Saturated Canary - coloured with watercolour pencils and a few highlights in glitter added. She kinda looked like she was floating on a magic carpet, so I grounded her a bit, but it still doesn't look right. Ah well, it will have to do. Silver peel off letters from stash.
- Layout from Sketch Saturday #425
- Addicted to Stamps and More #207 - make your mark
- Sparkles challenge #83 - lots of layers
That's me done for the night! I've a busy day or two planned for the rest of my week off, and then some nice shopping for my holidays (as opposed to boring old food shopping!) - so you might get some peace and quiet from me ;)

These are all wonderful cards, Lynne. I think you do such a wonderful job, no matter what style you incorporate. I'm STILL not quite certain what my style should be. The one thing I do know is that it is not shabby chic. I can't bring myself to put torn and worn papers on my cards. LOL
Lynne! these are all amazingly sweet but then again you KNOW I love your style! You should add FUN to your style too because you always have the sweetest FUNnest! images.
The last card for Nicole is colored to perfectly! that image is darling and the way you added the stripe pp to the bottom of your card was brilliant!
I'm with you that sleeping cat - dreaming of a sleeping mouse - makes me happy! Purrr-fect coloring AND splatters!
Finally those big-eyed birds are delightful!!
Love your style friend!!

Lovely cards, Lynne and yes, it took me a while to work out that CAs is best for me too! Jo x
Fab trio of cards Lynne, a sweet image and fab interpretation of the SS sketch too.
So pleased you joined us at ATSM. :)
Wonderful collection of cards, they all look brilliant. Funny you should mention knowing your style before you spent on lots of stuff you will never use. That is so so right, I think the same as I currently am packing (not getting rid of yet, stuff that is crowding out the space and not being used. You know that idea of pack it, if you don't go to it in a year, don't look at it again just donate it.
Now back to the cards, your girl in the end card looks wonderful, yes she looks a little floaty but that suits her image, be happy. We all think she looks brilliant.
Lynne, I love your adorable card for CASology...that cat is having a great dream! I love your doodled border, too...fabulous! Thanks for playing along atCASology this week!
A wonderful card!
