STAMPloration CASE for April

Where did my weekend go and what did i do with my time???  Did some crafting, did some gardening, played a few games of two-square with my youngest, and did a few loads of laundry... not super-productive!  Had low crafting motivation, too, with plenty of time. Bummer. But the weather was glorious and the birds were singing :)

Here's my rendition of this month's CASEplorations card:

This is the original card by Donna Mikasa:

Supplies and notes:

• I had actually done a couple versions of this card, starting out by inking some DI onto the Inkadinkado stamp.   I had the best results for bright color and detail using Marvy markers... I always forget about those. 
• The sentiment was typed, then cut and dipped into a puddle of Pine Needles  DI + high-quality H20 (hahaha) and popped up
• So, obviously, I went with the rainbow-effect and white background for this CASE.  I'd like to re-CASE... Hope I'll have more time and motivation this week (yeah right: I'll have motivation and ZERO time... Ain't that the way it goes!)
