IT COULD BE A BIRD, IT COULD BE A PLANE, AT ATCAS!

Hello peeps - it's time for another fabulous challenge at Addicted to Clean and Simple, and the code word this time has been chosen by the lovely Karen. The Code Word is ................
Lots of scope with this one - can't wait to see what you lovely crafters come up with! 
(Please note - this challenge is open for ONE WEEK, rather than the usual two).

**************
For my DT card I have used one of the fabulous images which our Sponsor generously gave us to work with. The image is so beautifully shaded, all it requires is a little colour. 
I used Distress Inks, layered it onto black cardstock, added a few tiny birdies in flight (a Crafty Individuals stamp), created a sentiment on the 'puter, and made the banner. 



Our generous sponsor is Delicious Doodles  who are offering 4 digi images for the winner. Just click the link above, to take you over there for a peek at their awesome images.


Have a happy week - Hugs,
