I thought I would do a CAS card for the final day of the Blog Hop this month.  I have come to love the way masking on a CAS card looks.  I stamped the birdbath, masked it -- and then masked the top and bottom of the card using Eclipse Tape before sponging on the green stripe.

I don't have a Twitter account -- no tweeting for me!  But I just had to use that sentiment on this "bird-day" card.

I've wanted to try a vertical criss-cross card for a while and never got around to doing it.  The images in today's set, Tweet That, gave me the perfect opportunity.  Here's the front of the card:

And here's the insert with the gift card -- a Lowe's gift card would be perfect for a new home:

I hope you have enjoyed what I and the rest of the team have presented for you this week.  For your final chance to win some goodies, be sure to check out the rest of the team's blogs:
