CAS # 30 "Makeover"

The Clean and simple challenge on SCS this week is to do a "Makeover" on one of your cards. I chose THIS card because I was never happy with it. I made it for another CAS challenge (#20)which was to use the "paper piecing" technique. For it I also used the colours of CC # 224 which were Pacific point/Tangerine Tango/Summer Sun and Whisper white- a pretty bright combo so I used lots of white to tone it down. However my little paper pieced birdy image which although cute, got a bit lost in all that white...... So this is my makeover of that card- It uses all the same elements of the original but condensed into Fall to layout#56 I am pretty happy with it. Hope you like it too.
And now,seeing as I have the day off today-I am going to give myself a bit of a treat- We have 2 brand new shops in my little suburb- Muffin Break and Lincraft (!!) and I think it is only right and proper that I welcome them and give my support to the new local businesses!! Don't you agree?
