Happy Birthday, Calypso!

Here is my card for the fabulous Calypso!  

Calypso always does fabulous CAS cards... so I was inspired to do one specially for her birthday!  Hope she likes it lol


Yup really CAS for me!!!  I used my 605QCL Provence Window stamp from Serendipity stamps.  I added a stamped Happy birthday sentiment and that's it!!!

Here's a closer look at the stamp
I really think it looks elegant ;o)  And decided not to color it because I liked that look

Next head on over to the fabulous
Jennifer  for the next project!

    Wow! What a stunning CAS card!! I think you made a wise choice in not coloring the window stamp. It is perfect just as it is. Thanks for joining us at Word Art Wednesday.

    Love this is so pretty! I think anything added on that card would take away the focus from the image and that would be a shame with such a beautiful image!

    Wonderful CAS card. There is so much going on in the design of the stamp that your choice not to colour it was definitely a wise one. I'm so happy to see that Calypso loved it.!

    Hugs,
