CASology, DD#47, Merry Monday


Hi friends.  This card for today is for CASology, cue word Travel.  Who doesn't think of maps when they travel?   I know I certainly do.  :)  I was also inspired by JJ Bolton's card here.  I was too late to play along with CASE Study challenge but still wanted to make a card using this technique.  Isn't it neat?!



 My second card for today is for Merry Monday and Dynamic Duos.  The colors for Dynamic Duos worked perfectly for a Christmas card.  Here is the sketch for Merry Monday:

You aced this technique - that world map is one very detailed image. A+++ on this project :)

  18. Love that you used these colors on a Christmas card. What a great idea. I wouldn't have thought to do that. As always, thanks for joining us at Dynamic Duos.

  19. Fabulous cards both, Kristie! That Dad card is so interesting - I had to get up close and personal to investigate the coolness of it. And of course I always love red and aqua (PP!) together - it made for an exciting Christmas card in this case. LOVE the vellum layer behind it so as to not cover up the lovely border print. These are both gorgeous!

  20. You have got to be kidding me!!! I love your CASology card this week. I have that technique on my list to try. I love the image you used for it, it's perfect for the theme TRAVEL and for a Dad card!

  21. Well, where do I start? Thanks for sharing JJ's technique- you used it in a fantastic way! I love your Christmas card as well- the vellum is fantastic!! Have you seen that ornament turned upside down and turned into a hot air balloon? I think it is on Brian King's blog. Great job with both cards.
