STAMPlorations CASEplorations April

Hey there!  Great news!  No chicken pox for Donovan!  Just some sort of benign bumps.  They are are almost gone now and never even got itchy so probably not even a bug bite of some kind.  Anyway, I'm just glad it wasn't chicken pox.  :-)

Now, onto to today's post!  Its the first of April and you know what that means?  April Fools Day, yes, but also it's the start of a new CASEplorations over at STAMPlorations!  Who are we CASEing this time?  It's the lovely and talented, Donna Mikasa!  Check out the card we got to CASE...


Isn't it just amazing?  I had a good long think about what I wanted to do and after much brainstorming this is what I came up with....


I stamped my feathers (Trendy Feathers set) in Versamark ink and embossed in white on watercolour paper.  Then I watercoloured a rainbow over the feathers fading the colours out.  I splattered some black ink over top.  I stamped sentiment (Balloons and Banners set) on a black strip of cardstock and embossed it in white. Then, I attached it to my card with some foam dots.  I had a blast CASEing Donna's card!  :-)

I hope you'll come on over the to main blog and check out the other DT's CASEs.  Remember, you have a chance at winning a prize if you comment on the main blog.

Thanks for dropping by and I hope you enjoy your weekend!

I'd like to link up to the following challenges:

Addicted to Stamp and More - make you mark (I used my Spectrum Aqua markers for the watercolouring)
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - anything goes
Sunday Stamps Weekly Challenge - Rainbow
