CASology Egg-cellence
Happy Tuesday! It’s time for a new cue word over at CASology! About this time of year, those of us that live in places with cold winters begin wishing spring will arrive early. I keep listening for the return of spring songbirds, hoping they’ll brighten the grey days winter seems to continue to give us!
I discovered I had a nest image in the depths of my stash and used it for my CAS creation.

| Stamps: The Cat’s Pajamas (Nesting), Precious Remembrance Shop (heart image – Coffee Love) Dies: Mama Elephant (Peek a Frame) |
I stamped the nest & sentiment first before die cutting the main panel. The bird was stamped and fussy cut before being popped up with foam dots. I added the little red heart, creating a visual triangle between the bird, heart & sentiment. A touch of sparkle was added to the heart with a Wink of Stella clear brush marker. The entire main panel was popped up with foam dots to finish off the design.
Be sure and go say a quick hello to the design team members & this week’s guest designer! They work so hard each week to create inspiration!
