Dia daoibh!
Ah, a glorious Monday morning – the start of autumn if you go by the old Irish calendar, where Lughnasadh on the 1st of August kicks off the harvest season. The air has that crisp bite to it, the kind that makes you feel alive – but it’s still just warm enough to dry the laundry without it coming back stiffer than cardboard. Honestly, nothing beats the smug joy of bedsheets flapping on the line, pretending you’re in an Ariel ad while really just standing in the back garden with a peg bag.
Now, onto my card.
Today’s star is an alien, die-cut from an SVG I designed in CorelDRAW. I cut him out of core card and glitter card, then layered him up for a bit of 3D fun. Kept it CAS – though with three eyes, this fella clearly spots chocolate cake from light years away. Forget UFOs, he’s definitely landing for dessert.
Challenges:
- Sisterhood of the Snarky Stampers #265 - A is for Alien
- Just Us Girls #788 - Word Week: Birthday
- Seize The Birthday #297 -No Flowers
- The Male Room #201 - Universe
- CAS Colours & Sketches #566 - Sketch Challenge
And let’s be honest – with his glittery finish and those three peepers, he’s either here to invade Earth or audition for a boyband. Either way, I’m ready.
Great CAS card and love the fun sparkly alien. Daughter laughs at me because it annoys me when we have a windy sunny day and I have no washing lol-then if it looks like rain I don't bother then spend all day saying look could have got al that dry-small things lol.

ReplyDeleteAll that glorious white space is perfectly CAS, Wendy! Love how the only colours draw your eye right to his cake-eating mouth :) Gave me a giggle. Thanks for sharing with us at CC&S this week.
