PWC150 - CAS STYLE!

Good morning friends!! Happy Wednesday! I am here with ANOTHER Paper Pretties challenge!! How about that, huh? Well, this week's challenge is to.............................

**CREATE WITH PINK AND GREEN & A NEUTRAL!**

SO, I thought I would TRY my hand, once again.....with a CAS style creation!! What?? You say?? ME.......create something that is "CLEAN AND SIMPLE"? NO way!! Yeah, I know.....I should have just left well enough alone! Right? See, I made these thank you cards for my mom a few weeks back? I LOVED them!! They were done VERY similar to this!! I had gotten a fresh can for my ABS system and was anxious to try it!! I LOVE that air brush look!! That being said? I decided to TRY it again!! AND? Here is what I came up with!!

Well, what do you think? I had to use the blue back drop thingy, because the white one washed it out!! I am thinkin', WOW!! that is a little MUCH too!! Haha! Oh well!! The thought was there!! I combined my PP Irish Blessings set along with my PP Sympathy set!! I am tellin' ya though, at least those sets are VERY versatile!!!! Well, I am off to get ready for work!! It is YUCKY and rainy here, so I am moving a little SLOW!! Haha!! Imagine that!! Thank you SO much for stopping by today and I hope you have a WONDERFUL day!! Make sure to stop by the PAPER PRETTIES BLOG to see the rest of the PRETTIES creations!! They are AMAZING and you will NOT want to miss them!! Until next time, ENJOY LIFE!!!!
