The great thing about this month's inspiration photo is that it can easily be used to make a masculine card.  That's what I made for my card today using Bomb Diggity stamp set and circle dies to mimic the balls in the photo. 

Tomorrow I will be back with another card to share with you inspired by the photo with a more feminine look.  For now I encourage you to see what the rest of the Encouragement Squad has created and then make your own card to encourage someone else and add it to the linky for a chance to win $25 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps gift certificate.

More CAS14 Inspiration

Did I tell you I was super inspired by the current Encouragement Challenge?  Here is yet another card I made with the inspiration photo in mind.

This card was created from a background that didn't turn out exactly as I planned.  That sometimes happens when you white emboss on white paper.  The flowers were not well placed.  I toyed with a couple of ways to salvage the piece and landed with a bold sentiment piece.  The background adds lovely color and interest to the card. 

There is still a couple of days to join CAS14 challenge.  Add your card HERE for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.
