Warm Wishes

As you can see, Mr. Fritz is thoroughly enjoying our unusual winter weather!  Loves laying on the deck in the morning sun.  Rain is predicted & we certainly need some, so he may have to go back to wearing his raincoat soon.
The current SSS Flickr challenge is to make a CAS card & it must be 1 layer.  I made my card from heavy weight ivory cardstock.  Then I scribbled on a long, narrow acrylic block with Distress Markers tumbled glass, scattered straw & bundled sage, spritzed with water & pressed it onto the card front.  The flowers & sentiment from SSS Warm Wishes is stamped in Brilliance Graphite Black.  I recently found that clear stamps love that black ink!  I added some splotches of the black with a wet paintbrush.  
Simple card once I finally figured out what to do for the look I wanted.  This could be a pretty set with different colors & sentiments.  I'm also entering the Sprinkle challenge at Inkspirational (splotches for sprinkles!) & Addicted to CAS code word: Distress (Distress markers). Thanks so much for stopping by.

    I love that look you got with the ink on the block and spritzed. It really sets off the black flower image. Fritz looks so content with the world.

    That is one happy pooch! Your card is a fantastic OLC, Greta!! I love everything about it! I think your lovely dots look more like sprinkles than splotches and they add a ton of interest to this pretty card!! Hugs, Darnell
