Smile today - Inspiration Destination # 94

Wednesday July 13, 2016

Welcome to another card and challenge at Inspiration Destination #94  where it's always ANYTHING GOES

Our sponsor for this card is Robyns Fetish

This is my card using the image called Betty owl..I had this negative frame on my desk just screaming to be put to use.. so I added some brads and found a sticker sentiment then colored the image.. I like the look. I almost put the image inside the frame but it just didn't look right so I added it off center and cut off a portion of the circle.  I like the look. Lot's of white so guess it's considered CAS..
