CASology #9

Welcome to Week 9 of CASology!  Here's the cue card for this week:

I have a rather embarrassingly large collection of Distress inks that do little more than sit in a drawer and collect dust.  I usually associate them with elaborate and busy cards but they can be used for simpler projects too.  For this card I stamped and embossed the bird image and then masked off and inked a small strip.  I really like the way it came out and how it makes the silhouette pop.  It took me ages to decide where to put the sentiment and then it seemed to be totally disconnected from the image so I added the matching gems and it was just the right touch to tie the image and sentiment together. 

Be sure to check out the rest of the design team for some fabulous inspiration!
