Hi everyone! :o)

I was delighted to be asked to be a Guest Designer at CASology for Week 202, after I won in their Week 200 challenge. :o)

This week's cue word is Masculine.

I made this CAS (clean and simple), masculine, Birthday Wishes Card.

Additional inspiration to make this card was a current Create a Smile challenge: Favorite. I incorporated a lot of favorites on this CAS card.

First is the CAS (clean and simple) design, my favorite design.

I used two favorite Create a Smile stamp sets I have: 'Whimsical Wheels' and 'Mini Birthday'.

I went with all my favorite techniques to make this card:
