For CAS-ual Fridays

I'm determined to get better at CAS cards.  I really do like this style, but trying to incorporate my quirky taste gets in the way sometimes.  This weeks challenge CFC 85: Round of Applause
Could I get more literal than this?!?hehehe

I took a circle die to make the card since I needed to feature at least one circle.  Now that I've completed the project the happy face may have counted!  Then I got out all my alphabet stamps and went to work!  I started in the center and used the smallest of my sets from Stampendous and wanted to do variations from upper case letters to lower case and then a mix.  Then used Lawn Fawn's Harold's and Claire's ABCs to get a bigger font as the swirl got larger.  Lawn Fawn has these cute little character stamps that I used to divide the words.  To complete the look I used some twine to make a bow.  I should also mentioned I used a pencil to draw the swirl so I had something to follow when stamping the invidual letters!  This made everything a lot easier!!  That's it for my Saturday.  Hope everyone is having a great weekend!  Leave a comment below to make my day!!!
