Hey friends!!! Lisa and I had so much fun last week challenging each other to make a card for the CASology challenge that we decided to take up the challenge, again! This week the cue word at CASology is "art". When Lisa contacted me and asked if I wanted to do the challenge I emailed her back that I would give it a go, but thought I would have trouble. I can't believe how wrong I was, lol!! Within minutes of sending off that email I had an idea for my card. When my husband and I first started dating we would often go to different art shops. While we were at one I spotted an art poster of Picasso's Don Quixote. I'm not a huge fan of Picasso, but I absolutely fell in love with that particular Picasso so my hubby (then boyfriend) bought it for me!! Fast forward about 15 years and I found a stamp of Don Quixote and I just had to have it. I used that stamp on my card. I inked up the sun in some chartreuse ink and then the rest of the image in Simon Says Stamp Fog. The sentiment is from the Reverse Confetti set Peacock Pretties and was inked up using Hero Arts Mermaid Ombre ink pad. I die cut the image with a polka dot rectangle die and then mounted it on a black cardstock base. What better way to use the cue word then to use a piece of art!
Thanks for stopping by... please make sure that you head over to Lisa's blog to see how she was inspired by the cue word!
