Water You Up To

In the midst of my youngest girlie's prom prepping...

I had a chance to run into a Michaels.

 She was getting her hair done at a friend's house, and they have a cat.

My allergies are through the roof (normally cats do me in), so I had a good excuse to kill time at a craft store. :)

That's my story friends...and I'm sticking to it.

 My usual go-to excuse is to use Michaels', Joann's..any craft store's bathroom. :)

I mean, I just need to meander through a craft store now and again, you know (and practically, take a potty break).

 Anyhoo...this Pool-Riffic set.

 So fun.

  (fyi...it needed several inkings but my Misti does the trick).

 

 I matched it with an Aloha die from Avery Elle.

This not so simple CAS card was inspired by these colors:

and arranged with this special technique:

If you don't know what it is (I had to google it myself)...it's like a camouflaged/pop-up sentiment.

I stacked a couple of navy aloha cuts under the main layer...including the tiny excess pieces.

It's a complicated CAS, but I like the effect.

Thanks for stopping by friends~
