Fly high...

This card is inspired by the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch ! Challenge #35, colors from Color Q #197 and theme from CASology Week 52- NEON. Here's my card...



I decided to create kites to represent my sentiment with one large focal kite and the rest smaller indicating the far background to match up with the sketch. I printed the sentiment using MS word.Then hand drew the kites and colored them using the challenge colors at Color Q. I used my Neon Sharpie Markers to do the coloring to meet the NEON theme. I then fuzzy cut each. 
While I was arranging my pieces together on card base, I felt something is missing, then the thinking began..... I am still thinking... still thinking....finally gave up and turned to my husband for a suggestion and guess what he gave the purrfect idea! said make a tree in the background :D
Though I did not make the entire tree I still hand drew tree branch in the background of focal image to create a more realistic look. I am so glad I asked him for a suggestion, it makes my card look complete ;) 
All the elements were then stuck using foam dots.

The challenges are -




Thank you for stopping by :)
